Some senseless babbling from David Calafrancesco to Mike Ruskai
on 07-27-97  05:15 about GIGO...
 MR> Anyone here using GIGO to import news via SOUP who can point
 MR> me in the right  direction?
 DC> Vsoup needs a soupfix program to restore the file to usable state for
The GIGO documentation indicates that it can handle SOUP format files, so 
are you saying that VSOUP generates broken SOUP files?
 DC> GIGO. Also, do you have a mapping.cfg file with the newsgroup names of
 DC> the groups you wish to gate? There is a nodelete test flag for GIGO as
 DC> well as a GIGO mailing list that might be very useful for you. 
I have all the newsgroups configured in mapping.cfg, yes, with nothing 
other than the group name on the line, which I take to be the way to 
configure them to use the name of the newsgroup as the echo name.
