As a compromise, perhaps you could allow the allow the group "control" without any dots to get through. The only change would be in NEWSADD.C. Just changing the string "test" in stripnodots() to "control" should do it. Then Rick Adams could change the Newsgroups: header to include the "control" group. -- USmail: Bob Sloane, University of Kansas Computer Center, Lawrence, KS, 66045 E-mail: sloane@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu, sloane@ukanvax.bitnet, AT&T: (913)864-0444
