   Sorry  for  the  broken  line.   The tin newsreaders   
   wraps text by default.  Should be all right now:   
      
   void command_list( struct var *var )   
   {  struct group *g;   
      ulong min,max,num;   
      uchar *arg;   
      uchar matchFlag;   
      bool listnewsgroups;   
      [...]   
      for( g = var->firstgroup; g != NULL; g = g->next )   
      {  if( var->disconnect || get_server_quit() )   
         {  break;  } // separate exceptional conditions from list exhaustion   
         if( !matchgroup( var->readgroups, g->group ) )   
         {  continue;  } // coninue reduces the nesting of if statements   
         if( listnewsgroups )   
         {  sockprintf( var, "%s " CRLF, g->tagname );  }   
         else // TODO: if min, max, and num go together, wrap them into struct   
         {  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 );   
         }   
      }   
      // Strange: this will be called even after disconnect or server_quit:   
      socksendtext(var,"." CRLF);   
   }
