Apologies if this is a well-known bug. Subject: 2.10 news Index: defs.h Description: Articles long enough to require use of a paging program to avoid having the start of the article scroll off the screen when header information for the next article is displayed are not put through the pager. This only occurs if the article in question is the last in its news group. Repeat-By: Make a 16-line-long article in a newsgroup such as "to.yourmachine" (NOT, repeat, NOT, in a "net" newsgroup), ensuring that it's the last in its group, and that there's also an article in another group you subscribe to that gets shown to you after the newsgroup in question. Then "readnews". Note that the test article's first two lines scroll off after the test article is shown. Fix: In "defs.h", LNCNT is set to 16. This works most of the time; it's too large under the conditions outlined above. So... ed localize.sh /ed defs.h/a /LNCNT/s/[0123456789][0123456789]*/14/ . w q then follow the usual news system rebuilding procedures. -- UUCP: decvax!harpo!seismo!rlgvax!cvl!elsie!ado DDD: (301) 496-5688
