Located the altopia groups directory on my hard drive
and renamed it to ~groupdir.dat so it wouldn't work but
so if I screwed something up I could just rename it
by removing the squiggle. Closed and opened Forte
Agent and in the groups directory list there were zero
groups shown.

Then I downloaded a new group list directory and STILL
I only get 117 some odd thousand groups-same as before
with no alt.binaries.checkmate group.

So, that rules a corrupted groupdir.dat file.

Now what???

I had CC do that for me. If you kiss my ass enough, I may ask him to
restore your deleted groups.

Fat chance. LOL But, I might consider it
provided you can offer up Pandora.
