Hi folks, I am running 2.11 news, patched to level 5 and rn patched to level 39. I installed all patches 28-39 in two fell swoops, I stopped once only to recompile but not intensively test. I now find that rn is counting articles wrong. At the newsgroup prompt, it will say (for example) 100 articles remain when in factr I know that there are none. This is particularly true when I do a "c" catchup, then "g" back to that group it loses the fact that all are caught up. It seems that it is counting wrong at other times, but I haven't a high enough frustration level to find it right now. Any ideas? -- Sid Shapiro -- Wang Institute of Graduate Studies ss@wanginst.EDU (ss%wanginst.CSNET@Csnet-Relay.ARPA) (617)649-9731 decvax!wanginst!ss

More information on the rn article count being wrong. General information - Ultrix 1.2, VAX Details: rn is screwing up the .newsrc file - it is doing things like: 1. rn a group - say test - say there are articles 1-10, so when I read them my newsrc should have a line that looks something like test: 1-10 2. next time I do rn, I don't read any test articles - when I exit that line now says test: with no articles read. ARGGGG Any more help? -- Sid Shapiro -- Wang Institute of Graduate Studies ss@wanginst.EDU (ss%wanginst.CSNET@Csnet-Relay.ARPA) (617)649-9731 decvax!wanginst!ss
