Having a user overflow this buffer will only bomb out that user, since who still has to read what is no longer figured out when news comes in. Upping the buffer to 512 ups ALL the buffers to 512 on gamma, which is too much for a pdp-11 but fine on a vax. The released version will have a separate limit for subscriptions, since we have people here passing 256 characters in their subscriptions and the maximum line length in the editor will soon become a problem! Continuation lines are on the wish list. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
