New netnews
The new netnews is now entering a testing phase.  The inews program has
worked for weeks and I can't find any more bugs in readnews.  More details
soon.

I should warn everybody of two aspects of the new netnews:
       1) The first 13 characters of a newsgroup name must be unique.
       2) Everything is mapped to lower case.

As soon as possible, I recommend adding net.ALL to your .sys files is addition
to NET.ALL.  This won't harm anything, but will keep your site from rejecting
articles that come from new sites.  Don't worry about ALL.  I have it as all
in the new version, but ALL never travels between sites so it shouldn't matter.
