But then again, XP exists only in Home and Professional editions, server has yet to appear. The NTswitch program worked on W2000. I guess I have to find a good enough PC box and install W2K server from my MSDN CD:s on it to test the NNTP stuff. Wonder what can be used as a W2K server, my old retired PC is a 300 MHz machine with 5Gb disk - will it cope? /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden) _______________________________________________ Cvsnt mailing list Cvsnt at cvsnt.org http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
