Morph is in the house!!!!!

sounds about right.

Google groups isnt really bad though. I use it a lot from work also since i cant get out on the ports needed for usenet.

Get yourself a 1-gig usb stick and install Agent onto it. You can run it from any PC you want, and take all your data with you.

Agent does not use windows registry or rely on it's own installed win system files, so it is fairly standalone application.

Try googling for "Free Agent" from Forteinc. An older version (something like 1.9) is all you really need for usenet groups.

Thats is of course assuming that corporate policy allows the use of such devices - it was a P45 offence to plug one in without my permission last place I was at

I've got a variety of old install files for Agent around. wonder what the legality is of passing on an old version of full agent?

I think that all versions (before 2.0) are shareware anyway. So unless you provide a reg-key it will just revert to Free Agent. Which is all the OP wants anyway. So - no problem!

The work PC runs Lotus Notes, work Laptop runs OE & I run Firefox on my PC. GMail has been a godsend for maintaining continuity with all groups and a few weeks ago they added a bookmarks button, so now my bookmarks are all common from the web.

Will do when stick delivered.

Thanks again for all the pointers, will probably revert again next week when trying to get it installed.

have you noticed on forte's website that they no longer do free agent. Agent full version only now.

I get the impression that it works as limited shareware though. Used to in v3.

V4 had bayesian filtering which is dead cunning, and much more options for filtering messages.

Changed PC two days ago, and have just downloaded Free Agent onto PC at work.

Send me an email address, and I will send it across.

Thanks

i was going to upgrade from old free agent, but the website implies that v4 is a 30 day trial

well, I rather thought that V3 reverts to limited function after 30 days. not looked into this on V4.

I can send you a v3.3 installer if you want :-)

I seem to have installers for 1.91, 1.92, 1.93, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.3, 4.0 and

Yep, just checked and my QF is set to wrap at 72.

No problems here. I use Turnpike - an excellent system free from Demon from the early days.

I think it still is free.

Im beginning to think that free agent is fairly crap (of the version i have anyway). It doesnt wrap anything ever.

It is to Demon customers but for how much longer either will survive is an open question.
