You should direct any questions about WinVN to the mailing list
"winvn@titan.ksc.nasa.gov" or in the newsgroup NEWS.SOFTWARE.READERS.
To answer your questions:
a) WinVN doesn't currently implement a kill file.
b) WinVN Version .90-6 allows you to fetch all the articles from
a group starting at the 1st message of the oldest unread
block of messages. Click "Unread" from the fetch dialog box
after clicking on the newsgroup. To get the maximum use of this
option, you should use the Double-Click Right mouse button
sometime before exiting each session to identify all articles
older than the current as "read".
c) Saving the SIG file does work but this was a bug in an
older release. Perhaps you should upgrade to the latest
version.
WinVN is a public domain MS-Windows 3.1 or Windows NT Network News
reader. It was written by Mark Riordan of MSU in 1989 and has been
extensively been modified by Sam Rushing from NASA/KSC (and a number
of other volunteers from around the world).
The latest version of WinVN is .90-6 and is available from
FTP.KSC.NASA.GOV in the directory /pub/win3/winvn
