I have been having a weird problem with rn lately. It doesn't seem to like the group comp.sys.ibm.pc. While in this group most of the functions of rn (f,F,r,R,^n,^p...) don't work. If I try to use one of them I get 'Caught a SIGSEV--.newsrc restored' error message. This doesn't happen in any of the other groups read. It does this for all users on the system. I have checked over the .newsrc files and the active file and not found anything out of order. I even completely removed the comp/sys/ibm/pc directory from my system and let news re-create a new one. Another minor annoyance, rn has started showing cross-postings when reading news. It used to not show them. I would greatly appreciate any and all help on these problems. -- Randy Jarrett WA4MEI UUCP ...!gatech!wa4mei!rsj | US SNAIL: P.O. Box 941217 PHONE +1 404 493 9017 | Atlanta, GA 30341-0217
