I have been encountering a rather strange problem when attempting to read the INFO-MAC digests with vnews. The digest begins to read, but when I press the space bar for "more", I get thrown out of vnews back to the $ prompt with the message: floating exception encountered - core dumped At that point, my terminal is in half, rather than full, duplex mode. The easiest way out is to turn off the terminal and switch it on again. It is virtually impossible for me to read any of the INFO-MAC digests successfully. Is there some character in those files that could be responsible for the problem? Jan Harrington, sysop Scholastech Telecommunications ihnp4!husc6!amcad!stech!sysop or allegra!stech!sysop
