[comp.sys.amiga] UUCP NewsReader

jason@pnet12.rfengr.com (Jason Goldberg) (12/21/90)

Thanks to all who have helped me get UUCP up and running.  Now I can send and
recieve mail at my UUCP site as well as read news.  I apparently have some
probelms with the DNEWS program though.  If I try to post news it runs the
postnews program in the background and the program seems to do nothing, I have
to send a break to that process to get it back and I can't get it to send any
news.  Also, I am having kinda wierd results with which groups it reads.  The
format listing in the docs for the .dnewsrc file is wrong since there is a "y"
preceeding all the groups that 
dnews added itself, so I am afraid to add any groups by hand for fear that I
won't get the format right.  If anyone could send some suggestions on how to
fix up the reader I would appreciate it.

Better yet, could someone please mail me a better NewsReader!  I heard ARN was
good from UUCPPlus but I can't find it anywhere.  I have called every PD site
I have access to and havent come up with any uucp mail readers :-(
I don't have any FTP access.  I have all the utilities from the UUCP1.6d
program to unpack a binary file mailed to me though.  Although some brief
directions on how to do it would be nice.

Thanks,

-Jason-
