I think it works! Try this ... Create a newsgroup with `G V' or `gnus-group-make-empty-virtual', then do `gnus-group-edit-group-method' and type (nnvirtual "^nntp\\+nntp\\.aioe\\.org:alt\\.os\\.linux$\\|^nntp\\+nntp\\.aioe\\.org:comp\\.text\\.tex$") This combines alt.os.linux and comp.text.tex from the Usenet server nntp.aioe.org using the protocol nntp. Enter the group as you normally would and do `gnus-summary-insert-old-articles'. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
