Subject: [ruby-talk:24779] Re: I've ported the python nntplib class to Ruby.  I will be adding comments to it soon.  Here it is for public commentary and criticism

[nntplib code]

i had a runtime error with a small test program 
can reproduce on my system w/given library by changing 
s = Net::NNTP.new('news.prodigy.net', 119, 'giddybug', 'sycamore')
 to
s = Net::NNTP.new('news')

      return resp, lines
    end


also, here is what i get w/patched version

narya:~/tmp> ruby nntplib.rb

group 20640 has 211 articles, range 890 to 19749
221 subject fields follow
205 GoodBye

i expected the subjects to be listed

narya:~/tmp> ruby -v
ruby 1.6.5 (2001-09-19) [i386-openbsd2.9]

do i need ruby version > 1.6.5?
