I used 2.0.0.24 on my XP system for a long time (as you might  
be able to tell from messages in this echo if you go back far  
enough). It was wonderful, and seemed very reliable. I don't  
remember why I needed change. Now I am at 3.0.11.  I think  
it's the last version that works with XP.

But, having just loaded it up and take a look..  I see that it  
has dropped ALL the ngs that I had Subscribed with rbb.bbs.fi.

  :(

I am not sure that rolling back will help.

Something must be confusing in the .rc to fail?  The  
rbb.bbs.fi.rc file is about 260K in size.  Trying to look at  
it with Notepad++ caused an Explorer fail.
