You repsonded that the client should send CAPABILITIES and then take action
based on that list on what to do.

Which will I agree with, it doesn't seem to me that ANY client does that..
Maybe there are some that do...on Linux you pretty much have Pan, KNode, and
thunderturkey, and I guess TIN if you stick to a CLI. I don't know what is out
there for other OS's, and really don't care in the case of one "OS." Matter of
fact my version of the code won't even compile on that "OS."

Doesnt seem any go that route, at least from the above limited set.

I am going to let some one further up the RFC chain dedcide which process is
"correct."

For now I've resolved my issue, and working on some other things, small, little
 itty bitty things, more for fun than making anything work...

NEWGROUPS, NEWNEWS would require some external stuff that is above my code
grade, at least in C/C++, at least I quickly look at them.. as the data for
them would seem to be not valid due to the JAM base, versus a NEWS SPOOL. Maybe
 not... I may or may not review that.
