If you think that you have been unsubscribed from the Yarn list, try
unsubscribing, and, then, resubcribing, as per the instructions in
english.doc.

Personally, I cannot see any difference, on my end. My news server can
be real flaky at times. Sometimes, when using Souper95, it times out
while trying to access the news server. Otherwise, when things are
"normal", I can't see any difference between the two versions, in that
respect.

The URL I have is:

Sorry, but I cannot make any comments about this, since I run Win95.

If you have a score file set up for Souper95 with killfile statements,
then articles that match the expressions listed there are "killed"
before downloading the final packet. Those "killed" articles will not
appear when you load Yarn and view your newsgroups offline. I hope
that this answered your question. If not, please let me know.

Sorry, but once again, I cannot comment on this. At least, I can say
that I am not a programmer (yet), so I really don't know how to help
you actualize your dream. I hope that someone else can do so.

I hope that others who run NT and use Yarn/Souper can help you out
here. Good luck...
