Dammit I didn't think of just doing headers! I went out and left it
downloading, and when I came back four hours later it had almost
finished. I think the best way might have been to remove and replace
groups so I could choose to receive only the last 100.

I'll delete by thread, so I should be able to winnow it down to 50-100
per group. I may miss a few of todays posts, but, c'est la vie . . .

I've tried them all, and none is quite what I want. Ithink Stargate
comes closest.

I somehow doubt Ollie will ever have time to finish anything. All his
programs are 95% excellent, but the remaining 5% is better not
described. Ithink his main priority is V4 atm, and I wouldn't like to
see him diverted from that.
