It is possible that the list Net-Tamer is getting from the server is
larger than it can entirely display and that van.forsale is beyond the
point at which the list exceeds the available memory. I _think_ the
limit is something just over 32000 lines, depending on available DOS
memory. If you have a text editor that edit large files _or_ a copy of
Vernon Buerg's LIST.COM, you can open USENET.FOR and find the group(s)
you want and extract them to another file, e.g. USENET.NEW. Then, you
can rename USENET.FOR to USENET.OLD and rename USENET.NEW to USENET.FOR.
Net-Tamer can handle the much smaller file just fine.
