alt.fractals
alt.fractals.pictures
alt.binaries.pictures.fractals
sci.fractals

Above are some groups handeling fractals. I think sci.fractals is the
most popular one.
If you are using nn to read your news you load the file .newsrc
into any editor of your choice and search for the above groups in
the list. Change the ! to a : and you will be receiving the newsgroups
you specified.

I'm confused.  You are the second person who has suggested this. 
I guess things are different on my system.

>In ex:

>g/:/s//!/
>/news.announce.newusers/s/!/:/
>/news.answers/s/!/:/

This is a sample from my .newsrc file.  I don't actually get most
of these groups, and I don't edit this file.  I leave it alone and
let it do what it wants.

------------------------------
rec.arts.tv.soaps: 1-44480
rec.video.cable-tv! 1-985
nj.events! 1-219
nj.general: 1-700
nj.politics: 1-616

alt.dreams! 1-3088
bit.listserv.advise-l! 1-254
bit.listserv.big-lan! 1-22
-----------------------------------

I don't get most of these groups any longer.

By contrast, my enews file looks like this:

-----------------------------------

 > admin    Comments directed to news administrators.
   announce
: -answers  Repository for periodic USENET articles. (Moderated)
! -config   Postings of system down times and interruptions.
! -future   The future technology of network news systems.

!  lists    News-related statistics and lists. (Moderated)
! -misc     Discussions of USENET itself.
! -newsites
   newusers

----------------------------------------------

This is where I change from ! to : depending on what groups
I want.

Why is this different in my system?

Hi,

I've just been looking through my "archives".  I was *sure* I had a file
of "Smileys" somewhere, but it's nowhere to be found :-(

Did I imagine it, or was there such a list floating about the Net sometime
in the past 12 months or so?

If you have a copy and would be prepared to e-mail it to me, please let me
know.  (I hesitate to say "Please e-mail it" because I don't know how big
it might be, and I would hate to think of the netlogjam that might be
created if a multitude of helpful people all sent a copy!)

Thanks very much for your trouble.   Cheers,  Ian S.

Nobody will kick in your door in the middle of the night and arrest you.
Depending on how persistent and annoying you are, you may very well
encounter "mail bombs", complaints to school or legal authorities,

Most groups frown on advertising, and rightfully so.  If you can

There is now:

But they were proposed two weeks ago and newgrouped this afternoon when

Help!

I want to post to rec.scouting, a newsgroup our site doesn't get, so I can't
read it.
In some FAQ I read that I should mail to news.group@decwrl.dec.com to post
in news.group.
So I posted to rec.scouting@decwrl.dec.com but this mail got bounced.
Did I miss something there?

Then I tried to simply post with nn.
nn said that rec.scouting is unknown. (naturally :-)
But I kept going and found that nn had put in the `Newsgroup:'-line 
the newsgroup I was actually reading at the moment.
I simply edited the line to rec.scouting and posted.
I don't know if it got there.

Any suggestions?

Please mail.

Thanks, martin

Please consider getting the Frequently Asked Questions I announced

you is the FAQ of the newsgroup which I co-moderate (see my

Taking a look at these you'll probably gain much more than just by

Hello.  I'm a graduate student in English (Rhetoric, actually) and one
really useful resource that's showed up recently is the MLA bibliography
on CD-ROM.  This lets us search through years and thousands of articles
quickly for the one or two that we need for our research.  We have this
at our main library at Purdue, but, since I'm lazy and live about ten
miles out of town, I was wondering if anyone knows about an internet
source that would let me check out MLA or other related bibliographies
via my internet account (which I can access at home).  I would be very
interested not only in MLA, but also if ERIC (Educational Research
Instructional Center, I think), DNB (Dictionary of National Biography),
or Historical or Psychological abstracts where available anywhere online.
(online meaning via telnet or some other remote login technique.)

Thanks for the help!

Hello !

I`m one of the poor people, who are only able to send and receive e-mail and
read/write to newsgroups. No ftp, none of all the nice special features. I was
very happy when I discovered the ftp-to-mail-service, but it`s very slow...

That`s why I`m asking now: Is there any possibily to get files from a
anonymous ftp-site by PHONE ??? Not via Tymnet or something. Really by my
modem. Is there any ftp-site out there, that have a public accessable
modem-port ? Or any other thing where I can call, do anything, and then get
some important files from a ftp-site ???

If there`s such a site, please give me the telephone-number and a litlle
explaination. Thanks very much !

File Transfer Program is for getting files from other machines, most
often the so called anonymous FTP sites, which store distributable
material.  If you happen to be an MsDos user, see this canned

general idea for any FTP site.

It's a convention that in manuscripts underlining is used to represent
italics, another (in publishing) that book and film titles are in italics
(short stories and individual TV programmes in quotes).

To indicate underlining on a terminal, most folk use an underscore before and
after the string (optionally replacing contained spaces with it, too).

For bold, use asterisks...

In my system, you are describing how to use "enews", not how to edit a
.newsrc file.  If you open your .newsrc file, which you must do with a
text editor such as emaces, you will see a list of newsgroups with
numbers following them.  This is a list of the groups you are subscribe
to and how many you have left to read.

You can edit this file, but whatever "enews" is programmed for will
override it and you'll get them all back again.  I found this method
to be a frustrating waste of time.
