I've recently installed news 2.11 B on two separate (and different systems) and have had the same problem. I'm doing patchlevel 18 on Microport SysV/AT (see my prior posting on other problems here) and patchlevel 19 on 4.2BSD. On both systems, 'postnews' corrupts the active file by scrambling the digits of the pending and read columns. First, it drops the blank space between the two columns, leaving a single string of digits and second, it seems to rearrange the remaining digits. Any help appreciated. -- UUCP: {rutgers|ames|uunet}!mimsy!woodb!fallst!tkevans INTERNET: tkevans@wb3ffv.ampr.org OTHER: attmail!fallst!tkevans Tim Evans 2201 Brookhaven Ct, Fallston, MD 21047 (301) 965-3286

I recently posted a question under the above heading. This is to say thanks to the couple of people who nicely pointed out that I'd forgotten to 'make update' after compiling and installing the update. (In my ignorance, I assumed that 'make update' merely ran a checkgroups.) -- UUCP: {rutgers|ames|uunet}!mimsy!woodb!fallst!tkevans INTERNET: tkevans@wb3ffv.ampr.org Tim Evans 2201 Brookhaven Ct, Fallston, MD 21047 (301) 965-3286
