[news.software.b] C News problem

david@bdt.com (David Beckemeyer) (05/07/91)

I've recently switched to C news, so please excuse my novice questions.

I'm getting the following in errlog each day:

	awk: string wesco:world,na,usa,c ... too long to print
	 record number 24

Where do you think it's coming from, and what can I do about it?

Thanks.

From /usr/lib/news/sys (assuming standard install).  Simply create
two entries in your sys file for wesco, each with half the longer
line.

Or install and use GNU awk which doesn't have the problem.
