We're running News2.11 under EUNICE BSD 4.3.2. I hacked together a version for EUNICE BSD 4.3.2 based on the News2.11 that appeared on the 1988 USENIX tapes. It has problems: - RNEWS/INEWS are unable to properly handle batched articles themselves-- they usually end up trashing the ACTIVE file with contents of articles. - RNEWS/INEWS don't correctly spool articles when EXPIRE is running. - The MORE interface in the news reader is flakey enough (due to pipes) that I had to throw out the use of MORE, and write a trivial pager within READNEWS. Has anyone done a more complete-and-robust implementation of News2.11 for EUNICE BSD 4.3.2? Thanx in advance Marcus Leech Gandalf Data Ltd
