And it shows :-( Some of the messages dated to when we were the only
site running the current relaynews code; Paul Eggert pointed out that
whitespace is not even technically legal according to 1036.  The
default now complains about bad dates too.

Here's a new version.  It's also available by anonymous ftp from
ftp.cs.toronto.edu in pub/news (not to be confused with pub/c-news).

My earlier warnings stand; included here in case you missed the last
version (now cancelled).
