If you see this, you're likely misconfigured to read the Borland news server!

If you can see this message, your own messages are probably
not being seen by most readers of the Borland newsgroups.

You're probably reading a copy of the Borland newsgroups
from your local ISP. This is fine for reading the
newsgroups, but not for sending messages. Most ISPs don't
post individual messages to the Borland servers. So if you
try to post a message, it will be arrive at your ISP's copy
of Borland's newsgroups, but it will never reach Borland's
servers themselves. *You'll* see it, but people reading
Borland's servers directly will *never* see it. Like this
message, which has not been seen on Borland's servers
either.

So if you've been getting few or no replies to your posts,
now you know why.

To connect to Borland's server directly yourself, follow
the instructions here:
http://www.borland.com/newsgroups/newsinfo.html

If you cannot connect directly to newsgroups because
of a firewall, you can post to Borland's newsgroups
via the web pages at http://newsgroups.borland.com/
