[comp.sys.amiga] uucp 1.00D--Help

bill@wfhami.UUCP (Bill Hogsett) (01/14/90)

	I have previously posted a message about uucp 1.00D not uncompressing
news or sending mail to the proper directories.  I have looked into it further
and see that rnews is failing with an error message when called by uuxqt which
says that it is unable to load rnews.  The rnews file is in uucp:c and has a
size of 19688.

	Does anyone have this working?

I saw the previous article as well, I'll reply to them both at the same time.

Yes, I've had it running for quite some time now. And I helped to develop
it with Matt.

What it sounds like to me is that you don't have rnews in your path. This
version of UUCP searches your executable path to find its files. So, if you
are keeping your executables in "uucp:c", make sure to add something like
"Path uucp:c add" to your startup-sequence somewhere.

Another thing is to make sure that UULIB:, UUSPOOL:, UUPUB:, UUNEWS:, and
UUMAIL: are all assigned to the proper directories and that UUNEWS:
contains directories for all the newsgroups you will be carrying. Make sure
that there is plenty of free space in the UUNEWS: directory for the work
files.

The next version of UUCP will likely have support for C News if there is
time to do the port.

Darrin,
        I noticed your Amiga enthusiasts of Cleveland line and wanted to let 
you know that the AFIT Amiga Users BBS in Dayton, Ohio is now a UseNet to Fido 
Gateway.  We can be reached at uunet!dayvb!afitamy.  I believe we are the 
third gateway in Ohio and the only Amiga gateway.  Hope to establish uucp ties 
with Amiga enthusiasts all over.  From the AFITAUG, hello everyone we are 
here!

                                                                     -Don-
