- O.K., I'm getting tired of the various (and previously reported) bugs
- with NewsWatcher as released, and I guess I'm ready to hack my own
- version. Would any of you kind souls make my life easier by sending
- me your NewsWatcher source _preferably_ for ThinkC 5.0x, including
- your nifty modications? Since beggars can't be choosers, I'll happily
- accept MPW source, too, although then hints for conversion to ThinkC
- would also be helpful.
-
- Modifications of which I've heard talk (some time ago) include
- 1. avoiding the "too many groups" bug, and
- 2. a more logical approach to retrieiving long (>32k) articles
- (get it all at once, but only put the first 32k into a window; this
- avoids a second retrieve when the user saves the article.)
-
- Many thanks in advance.
