Pretty darn ugly. "LIST NEWSGROUPS" returns the name of each
newsgroup and a description. With some slight code changes
we now get:
NEWSGROUPS
alt.3d
Three-dimensional imaging.
alt.abortion.inequity
Paternal obligations of failing to abort unwanted child.
alt.abuse-recovery
Companion to alt.sexual.abuse.recovery. (Moderated)
alt.activism
Activities for activists.
I have attached code diffs for both the Lynx version of
the WWW library changes and the XMosaic 2.2 version, since
there are differneces in the file. I will have these changes
in Lynx version 2.2
Does anyone know of any server that doesn't support "LIST NEWSGROUPS"
I tried INN, ANU News and a CNEWS installation and they all worked.
