Hi,

I'm in progress of building a files-from-articles grabber and found in 'sn' a great pal to store articles locally.

However, I have a need to only get specific individual articles and I found no alternative then to patch snfetch.c. I couldn't get this working with the default behaviour of snfetch. Basically this patch mis-uses the params snfetch needs to be called with; if both 'serial' and 'max' are equal, this (and ONLY this) serial is fetched.

Please consider applying this patch or add this functionality in a different way.

Thanks,

Marc.
