Oops. We -- well, to be specific, I -- made a small error in the relaynews makefile. As a final pre-Christmas patch, here's a fix. Just to add some real technical content :-), I include a small fix that's been in the queue for some time: having rnews report problems on stderr, as well as to the NEWSMASTER, so that smart transmission systems can pass the detailed nature of the problem back to the other end. Oh yes, as a final Christmas present, the cnews.Z file on cs.toronto.edu will shortly be current again, the series of somewhat interrelated patches having been completed. start of patch 15-Dec-1990 (suggested archive name: `pch15Dec90.Z') this should be run with patch -p0 <thisfile The following is a complete list of patches to date.
