I expect that the B version would be considerably faster than even the newest A version. However, B's checknews algorithm is considerably slower than A's - this really matters most to sites that print a "You have news" message in the login procedure. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
