If you don't you have to download them: Perl: http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ localProxy (proxyTools): http://sourceforge.net/projects/proxytools/ Open your Outlook Express (if that's the News reader you are using), create a new News account, set Server as 'localhots', click the 'Advanced' tab, change the News (NNTP) port from 119 to 10119. Run localProxy, select the right 'Configuration, in your case I guess it's either UAE-ADSL or UAE-Dialup, select the 10119:Usenet news service, then click Start services. Now run your Local Express and check your News! I hope that helps. - -- Regards, Hat - ----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GAT d++ s: a33 C+++>$ UL P+ L++ E- W+++>$ N+++ o(?) K-? w+ O+!
