   i hope so, too :)

   because they are what was there... the one with the '-' is the old removed   
   line and the one with the '+' is the new fixed line... i did it kinda like a   
   diff but manually...

   because that's not the way it is written in the JAMNNTPD v1.2 code, i guess...   
   is that faster or otherwise "better" in some way? i like the current way   
   (above) for its readability... it is easy to understand what is being done...   
   this new way, maybe not so easy to read and understand...   
      
   besides, i'm just working with what i have... i'm not even a C coder at all...   
   i much prefer pascal, asm, perl, bash, 4DOS scripting, and others ;)   
      
      
   FWIW: there's two typos, too... s/g-group/g->group/  and s/))/)/   
      
   what type would matchFlag be? char, uchar, something else? i see a lot of   
   uchar definitions... i finally settled on the following code purely from   
   guesswork and checking/fixing EMX compiler errors ;)   
      
      
   void command_list(struct var *var)   
   {   
      struct group *g;   
      ulong min,max,num;   
      uchar *arg;   
      uchar matchFlag;   
      bool listnewsgroups;   
   [...]   
      for(g=var->firstgroup;g && !var->disconnect && !get_server_quit();g=g->next)   
      {   
         if(matchgroup(var->readgroups,g->group))   
         {   
            if(listnewsgroups)   
            {   
               sockprintf(var,"%s\t" CRLF,g->tagname);   
            }   
            else   
            {   
               if(!jamgetminmaxnum(var,g,&min,&max,&num))   
               {   
                  min=0;   
                  max=0;   
                  num=0;   
               }   
      
               matchFlag = matchgroup(var->postgroups,g->group) ? 'y' : 'n';   
               sockprintf(var,"%s %lu %lu %c" CRLF,g->tagname,max,min,matchFlag);   
            }   
         }   
      }   
      
      socksendtext(var,"." CRLF);   
   }
