I have never once had a problem putting binaries together. And as far as retrieving messages, I would attribute that to your isp news server, not the reader. I ain't trying to stop you from trying other readers, just commenting on your post is all. forte agent seems to be one of the more popular ones that people are using though. I would suggest looking for an updated version as Bill suggested. -- Margolis http://web.archive.org/web/20030215212142/http://www.agqx.org/faqs/AGQ2FAQ.htm http://www.unrealtower.org/faq
