Thanks to all those kind souls that sent me mail to say that my previous post
actually managed to get out. Normally I'd email this, but my feed site and I
have a slight disagreement over what a valid mail message looks like. (I can
GET mail, but sending seems to be failing)
Now to new business. DNEWS doesn't work at my site. It keeps telling
me that "there are no news articles". Odd really, I can see HEAPS of the
little things. ;-)
The only way I can get it to see ANY articles is to first run ANEWS
and not read anything. Then DNews works perfectly. Any ideas?
Dave.

Then DNews works perfectly. Any ideas? Use "Arn". I think it's another good alternative to dnews. It's similar to the real "rn", but not so powerful, yet. It works with most UUCP-Software (AmigaUUCP, AmigaUUCP Plus, CNews, JDCP, BRnews, etc...) and is RFC 1036 conform. Unfortunately, there is no kill-file supported yet, but I'll implement it as soon as I have the time (as author of "Arn", my statements may not be objective... :-))! But "Arn" has A LOT of other features, you ever wanted... Maybe //\\migaUUCP Plus and "Arn" are already on "abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov" (128.155.23.64): /incoming/amiga/uucp1.lzh uucp2.lzh I don't have FTP access yet, but this will change next week or so... Then I'll put an update of "Arn" (because the cancel-function was out of order since V0.65) to abcfd20! At the moment, you only can get it with AmigaUUCP Plus via FTP... I'll announce further details on which site which version is accessable. //\\migaUUCP Plus V1.02 bases on CNews and AmigaUUCP V1.06D. You can spool news, expire them (history) and, for easier newsreading, have an active-file. Naturally there are other features, I won't list here. Uuuhh, I forgot: "Arn" and AmigaUUCP Plus run both under AmigaOS 2.0/A-3000 as A3000-owners report. > Dave.
