My newsfeed is a Compaq 386/130 running SCO Xenix-386 2.2.2 running news patchlevel 14. My machine is a Sun 3/50 running SunOS 3.5 running news at the same patch level. We are using batch and compress. When the news comes in, every batch returns a uuxqt exit(0) success message back to the news userid on the feed. We have both checked our localize scripts, resulting defs.h, Makefiles and sendbatch files to ensure that uux flags are set to -n wherever uux is even *hinted* at. My feed claims that he doesn't have any special sending sequence set up in his sys file. I had another Sun feeding me some of the newsgroups for awhile and he didn't get any return mesages. My main feed sends news to other Xenix machines and he doesn't get junk back from them. When I feed outgoing articles to him, I don't get a status return. Anybody have any suggestions?

I am running AT&T Sys V 3.2 (real UNIX :-)) We corrected this by changing the arguments to 'uux' as follows: UUXFLAGS -r -z to UUXFLAGS -r -b in "defs.h". This can (should) be done through the "localize.sh" script and recompiling 'news'. Hope this helps.
