   I used 2.0.0.24 on my XP system for a long time (as you might     
   be able to tell from messages in this echo if you go back far     
   enough). It was wonderful, and seemed very reliable. I don't     
   remember why I needed change. Now I am at 3.0.11.  I think     
   it's the last version that works with XP.   
      
   But, having just loaded it up and take a look..  I see that it     
   has dropped ALL the ngs that I had Subscribed with rbb.bbs.fi.   
      
     :(   
      
   I am not sure that rolling back will help.   
      
   Something must be confusing in the .rc to fail?  The     
   rbb.bbs.fi.rc file is about 260K in size.  Trying to look at     
   it with Notepad++ caused an Explorer fail.
