I wish I'd caught it while that distribution was coming out, but I didn't cause I thought I'd never get it to work :-(. However, I snagged trn.tar.Z and trn.patch1.Z from uunet and from that I was able to build a working trn. As near as I can tell, it is the same as the recently distributed trn that I didn't manage to build right from the comp.sources.unix distribution. The only thing that's now preventing me from installing it as a replacement for rn is the handling of crossposted messages. I recall people mentioning that that was a problem - does anyone know if it's fixed in any releases? I'd like to give it a try on my user community, if they can't break it...

One last time: the catchup on the thread selection menu uses the std catchup code, so it doesn't do crossposts. Normal crossposts will be fine, unless you've compiled news in a funny way. --tom -- Tom Christiansen tchrist@convex.com convex!tchrist "With a kernel dive, all things are possible, but it sure makes it hard to look at yourself in the mirror the next morning." -me
