Oh, ok.  That makes sense, and explains why it just hung and didn't
generate errors.  Thanks Russ!

I have another question.  Now that I have inn-2.3.2 working, I am trying
to transfer some articles from an old inn-2.2.3 installation.  The old
installation was local postings only, no incoming or outgoing feeds. It
was the traditional spool storage method, and so is the new one. The new
installation is on a different machine, and I'd prefer not to mess with
the old installation if possible.  I tried copying over the old article
files and active file, but that didn't work.  A news reader doesn't even
show that they are there.  The listing of groups is correct, there just
aren't any articles.  I know that a lot of things have changed between
versions, but is there some way to get these old articles into the new
installation?

Thanks,
Meghan
