- I must obviously conclude otherwise. In its present form, it will not
- work at this site, "period".
-
- This site handles a LARGE number of news groups. Because of
- HellDiver's early approach of keeping all the groups and other
- information in 640K RAM memory, we experience insufficient memory
- problem including blank newsgroup names and other problems. Mind
- you, this is with 620K available space after loading NetWare drivers.
-
- Email correspondence with the author (who was very helpful and more
- than polite) suggested just after its initial release that the problem
- would be corrected shortly but would take some rewriting. I am
- waiting to test the new version.
-
- I think HellDiver is off to a great start but at the moment, it is
- useless here.
