Thanks, I have applied a variation on this patch to CVS.  I didn't want to
use the -h option (I have some hope eventually of having that mean "help"
wherever possible, although I know it's used for other things in a few
places already), so I thought about how the range was specified, and I
instead modified -a so that it can take an NNTP article range (something
like 4 or 2-4 or -10 or 6-).
