Try doing an archie for WINIRC.EXE, not .ZIP.  The documentation for the
Windows version is the same as the DOS version...

Subject: Why is NewtNEWS so slow?

I am connecting to an NNTPserver via PPP with Netmanage's
Chamelion NFS v4.0. Unfortunately, the newsreader takes an
INCREDIBLE ammount of time to update newsgroups before I can
use it (we're talking hours). Does anyone else have this
problem, are there solutions?

Thanks....Mikhail

Subject: ws_ftp.zip   FTP for Trumpet winsock 10a ?

Please help me out..  I think I am running the correct (or best) ftp software
for Trumpet winsock.  This is my problem.. I must connect to sites and change
directories to directories that are strange.  I can change to them fine in a
nomal networked dos version of novell ftp but I cannot change to them using
this windows version by typing them in the command under the change dir
button.   Please any info will be greatly appreciated..
                         thanks,

Yup, it's slow alright.  And NetManage knows about it.  But they're probably
more worried about other things to do too much playing around with a news
reader.  I dumped NewtNews a long time ago.  Instead, get hold of WinVN, it's
incredibly fast and very easy to set up.  FTP to 128.159.4.20 and in the
directory /pub/win3/winvn you'll find the program.  This site should give you
the lastest and greatest version.  If you have any problems, WinVN should
also be at CICA.

Subject: Unix ELM mail: a pain - Is there a Windows ELM?

I read and answer personnal mail with ELM, using FTP Wtnvt VT220 emulator
to log through an ethernet link, to a UNIX box where the mail is waiting for
me in user/mail/my_account_name as it is for many ELM users.
This is "a pain" for a Windows user, as I have to use the VI (village idiot) editor
 or the builtin editor, the key have to be remaped for delete, backspace etc..
All characters are (often slowly) echoed by the server: " a royal pain".

Is ther any winsock application that would log on my account,
-  ftp the mail file (always the same name) to my PC,
-  delete the file in the server  (may be ftp  a copy with a different name, just in case
            something want wrong,
-  let me  reply by SMTP protocol directly from the Windows/ PC,
-  then append whatever is left of the file after messages have been removed, to the
           message file that may now contain newly received message on the server,
-  and delete the backup file on the server.

Help, where is there such a pearl, I am losing my sanity with VI

There are several commercial implementations that support PPP.  If you
are referring to the Trumpet WinSock -- then I believe that Peter does
have plans to add PPP support.

Later,

Hmmm.... talk to the folks at Frontier Technologies.  SuperTCP 3.0 is by
far the best commercial WinSock implementation that I have tested.  I have
also used it for routing, and it works *VERY* well.

Write to [e-mail] or [e-mail].  Unfortunately,
I don't have a number handy right now.

Yea, there is a solution - dump NewtNews and use Trumpet!

Personally, I use Chameleon for the dial-up, but use other shareware programs
for FTP and for the newsreader.

Subject: How to check if winpkt is already loaded

Is there anyway to check if winpkt is already loaded.  We have users who are
ending up with multiple copies of winpkt in memory, which seems to be causing
some problems.  It would be great if winpkt could detect if it has already
been loaded...
