Getting a newsgroup list

Microdot-II fails when downloading the full newsgroup list, after almost 29,000 groups. The list of groups is available from U-Net's ftp server, but needs altering before it can be used with MicroDot-II. The procedure is:
  1. Download the newsgroup list and save it in MicroDot's data drawer with the name GroupList. You may need to shift-click on the link to download it instead of displaying it.
  2. Download and unarchive the FixMDGroups script.
  3. Run FixMDGroups from a shell by typing "rx FixMDGroups"
  4. Rename the file from GroupList to GroupList.user where user is the user you log into NetConnect2 as (MicroDot now holds a separate group list for each user).

Set up your mail address as in MicroDot-II. For other settings, see the page on the Proxy Server.
