I did rebuild my news.dat, but it wasn't particularly out of
sync...went down from 4.8 to 3.5 megabytes.
I also changed the initial memory requirement on my batch file
to 1024 from auto.
I guess I can't be sure which did the trick, but I just
successfully went through a 350 message newsgroup and did not
get kicked out. Life is again worth living!
Thanks folks!
Valerie
