i tried the "quick and easy" method...I went to the OLD Google groups
site before they tried to get fancy with the new one!

Not the first time "new and improved" wasn't!

I'm also using the E-S NNTP service Garry mentioned ... I'm still on XP
and am using Outlook Express.

Hi Clif & Garry,

Clif - some sample code would be greatly appreciated!
Garry - According to my stupid Google Groups, I don't have
"another
thread", so I never saw your answer! On a different note, what NG
reader
should I be using? Obviously the Google way is NOT the best!
Thanks!!

You can use the news reader in your mail app if it has one. Outlook
Express, Live Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird to name a few.

Note that any MicroSoft news reader will purge the messges from
your
local cache if nttp they subscribe to shuts down.

I use mesnews on my XP machine, mesnews or T-bird on my x64 Win7
machine.

You will, however, have to use a service that supports NTTP. I use
the
one below my signature. You have to register with them but the
service
is free.
