   You repsonded that the client should send CAPABILITIES and then take action   
   based on that list on what to do.   
      
   Which will I agree with, it doesn't seem to me that ANY client does that..   
   Maybe there are some that do...on Linux you pretty much have Pan, KNode, and   
   thunderturkey, and I guess TIN if you stick to a CLI. I don't know what is out   
   there for other OS's, and really don't care in the case of one "OS." Matter of   
   fact my version of the code won't even compile on that "OS."   
      
   Doesnt seem any go that route, at least from the above limited set.   
      
   I am going to let some one further up the RFC chain dedcide which process is   
   "correct."   
      
   For now I've resolved my issue, and working on some other things, small,   
   little itty bitty things, more for fun than making anything work...   
      
   NEWGROUPS, NEWNEWS would require some external stuff that is above my code   
   grade, at least in C/C++, at least I quickly look at them.. as the data for   
   them would seem to be not valid due to the JAM base, versus a NEWS SPOOL.   
   Maybe not... I may or may not review that.
