News Archive

I've just discovered that the, recently updated, application that I
use to create and maintain the news archive was getting a bit confused
about time zones. Half the time it was adding the offset value to the
timestamp and half the time it was subtracting it!

I've just uploaded the August file and, because of the above problem,
I've also replaced the June and July archive files.

If anyone (other than me) is still using the newsgroup archive then
you should just overwrite the old file with the new downloads.

So do I. I think the better question is who does not?

CU,

Re: News Archive

Thanks for the replies. It's nice to know that the archive is still
of use. I can't get any stats from the server that houses the archive
files (it's free so I can't complain) so I'm not sure how many people
actually make use of them.

Hi Ian
I've been lurking, but slowly finding more time for Dolphin. I'm sure
others and I, who contribute more questions than answers, appreciate
your vigilance on things Dolphin. Without this continued newgroup
activity, I'm not sure where I would go for better info.
