A major bug was found inside RNALIB 2.0 distributed inside sources.misc
on october 6th 1990. The bug affects 'pathsizing' while rna is executed
by cron and not manually; whoever is using RNALIB with the option for
pathsizing activated, should patch the program by changing line 728
in the original RNA source from
< ed - $PATHSIZE >/dev/null <<OoPs
to
> ed - pathsize >/dev/null <<OoPs
Users of SCO-UNIX should also apply the following patch in order to let
MMDF work quietly. In the following shar file you find both patches;
the first is 'upgrading' your rna 2.0 revA to revision B. The second
is good for scoxers only (sco unix users!).
We are working on the 2.1 version which will be somehow compatible
with the 'french' bitnet list server. It also already supports
lharc,zoo and tar compress formats.
Greets, Paolo
p.s.
i'm posting from otello since my home system 'i2ack' had a very bad
(final?) crash on motherboard, disk controller, memory expansion.
The serial board works, though. You can do thousands of things
with a serial board ;-)
