	Looks like as much activity here.  (I'm not seeing anything reach me
with the unix-pc.* entries in the 'Newsgroups:' header line, so I suspect
that there are B-news sites in my feed path which are aliasing the old
groups into the new.)

	By the way - I've never heard of the other group in your
'Newsgroups:' line "unix-pc.followup", and aparently, neither have the
B-news sites in the path, since It got here unmodified.

	I also got a 'Checkgroups' message which prompted my system to tell
me to remove 'comp.*.3b1' (Among many others.)  How long does it take before
the 'Checkgroups' files are up-to-date with our new groups?  (Until quite
recently, I have been getting the 'unix-pc.*' groups forwarded by e-mail,
and made the transition to running C-news at about the same time as the
changeover.)

	Anyway, the total volume seems undimimished, (Including the
occasional clone-box person who thinks he knows what 'unix-pc' is all about
:-)


	Sorry that I can't help any with the image viewing problems.

	DoN.
