- TIN saves temporary data to T:. There is no way of altering this that I know
- of. One way to fix it would be to reassign T: to somewhere on your hard disk
- (e.g. Assign T: DH1:Temp) but this is a rather messy solution, and will affect
- any other programs you have running which use T:.
-
- What you should be doing is preventing it from downloading the entire
- newsgroup list, which will also cut down the time taken for the program to
- start up.
-
- Use "tin -nqr"
-
- The n option only downloads those newsgroups to which you are subscribed in
- .newsrc. The q option prevents TIN from asking you if you want to subscribe
- to new groups. r enables online reading, as you know.
-
- In tinrc, also make sure you set:
- # if ON show group description text after newsgroup name at
- # group selection level
- show_description=OFF
-
- If this is set to ON, TIN will still have to download the entire newsgroup
- list to get the descriptions.
