Me too!  I've waited for a FAQ, but haven't seen one yet.  This is a
nut I can't crack.

The one I am using, WinVN, is an excellent newsreader.  Although it can't
skip threads it will 'calculate' threads so that they are bunched together.

The newest version lets you uudecode large sets of posts at once.

I believe you can get it at titan.ksc.nasa.gov via FTP.

Subject: Help with Mosaic 2.0.a.4 and printing/network

I'm wondering if I'm the only person having trouble with Mosaic 2.0.a.4,
especially as it regards printing on a network printer.  This version causes
GPFs constantly with instant crashing either of Mosaic alone or also of
Windows.  Also, I cannot print to an HP4Si/SiMX in either PCL or PostScript
mode (it has a PS chip) on our Novell 3.15 network.  Well, it does print but
about five lines of text from the "page" are printed at a 45-degree angle (in
a sort of "swirl" pattern) and some blank horizontal lines on top of them.

I frequently hear from others that the version prints okay on 95% of what they
send to the printer from Mosaic!  These people account for that 5% with
the developers' disclaimer that the printing is still buggy, although
the new version supplies not only a setup printer screen, but also a
print preview (on which I can only view what is in odd large fonts on
the page--it seems to spread text documents over 400 pages with a teensy line
at the top of every fifth page)!  That's why I keep trying to figure out
what's weird about my setup.  I'm okay printing from LView, or other
peripheral software to Mosaic, but pages of text even without graphics come
out as described above for me.

I tried sending the page to our old Apple Laserwriter IINT and they look just
as crummy.  As long as a page is just text, I can do the workaround of loading
to disk and then printing (codes and all) from Notepad, but this sucks.

I guess I just don't understand why it should be such a huge problem for
Mosaic to have adequate printing when everyone else just points to whatever
printer drivers your Windows program is using. (Yes, whining again...!)

My winsock and wlibsocks are both compliant, so I really don't know what else
to try at this point.  Has anyone out there got any leads/ideas for me???
Thanks for anything!

Is there a news reading program that operates with Winsock that allows offline
mail reading and composing of posts?

Yeah, I can give you a few ideas. Someone somewhere is parsing the name
incorrectly (or it is coming from the server the wrong way. The text you
see in your message is a line fed from the server after the nntp GROUP
command has been sent. THe exact format is:

211 n f l s

where

n = estimated number of articles on file
f = first article number
l = last article number
s = name of the group

I would like to see this reproduced with some consistency. Our company is
in the process of implementing an nntp news client for Windows and would
be interested in what is causing the error. The response line is, for all
intents and purposes, valid.

Subject: Trace-route and Ping -- Winsocket versions?

Are there Winsocket versions of these useful utilities?

If so where?

Thanks in advance.
