Thanks

I have problems with the new google groups - and the help is of no use:

1) how do I search for group names?
In the old version I could click the the group name or search for eg microsoft.pulic.windows.....


2) how do I post to groups, without subscribing?

and 3) where is 1) in the help?

I don't know how to get anywhere thru google groups.. But if you register
with ( news.eternal-september.org ) it's FREE. It does carry some
microsoft.public.windows groups. I don't know how active they are.

( news.eternal-september.org ) carries thousands of groups so I'd bet you
can find some that will suit your needs.

I'll second Clay. That site works most of the time. No binaries though.
If you'd care to spend $10, you could buy 25GB of downloads from
astraweb.com. I did that 3 years ago and have used just over 1 GB of
that 25. Astraweb has better retention and better reliability than
eternal-september, but it does cost that $10.

Then using any of several free newsreaders, you can access all that is
available. I have an affinity for XNews, but there are others.

I jumped over there the other day when you first posted your questions. I
was able to search for a group by typing in a part of the name. Worked
fine. I think it was the second screen. If I remember correctly, the first
screen had a Browse button, which I hit, and then I typed in a part of a
group name in the search box at the top of the screen. It took a while for
google to populate everything it was trying to report back on that search,
but group names was part of that return. I agree - it sucks as an
interface, but it did at least appear to work.



2) how do I post to groups, without subscribing?

Don't know - google may require you to establish an account. What happens
when you try to post without subscribing?

See a previous post of mine. But... how did you get here? Can't just
search the same way you did to get here?

I guess nobody uses alt.test anymore.

Or, alt.binaries.test.
