Asri-unix.369 net.news.b utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!menlo70!sri-unix!mclure Wed Dec 30 08:48:39 1981 news screw I was just running news and had some unread net.general articles. I had read up to article 286 and then gone to 287 but since there wasn't any it took me to the next newsgroup net.news. I wanted to reply to 286 so I backed up with -1 and it took me back to 286. I replied with r and then ^D'd. It then showed the blurb line for 286 again. I q'd out to the shell. Then I ran readnews again. Low and behold it put me back into net.general at article 252 which was actually the first unread article in net.news I had backed up from with the -1 a few minutes before! Seems like a mighty bad bug. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
