The version of trn I have does not appear to support crossposting. This makes it very annoying, as I keep reading the same article over and over and over... Anybody else notice this, and is there a fix available? (I need my fix, *now*! 8-)) Thanks... -- -----------------+ Sean Eric Fagan | "*Never* knock on Death's door: ring the bell and seanf@sco.COM | run away!

(I need my fix, >*now*! 8-)) I think the problem is that the normal cross-posting mechanism of rn while reading articles is still working, but it doesn't work in the thread menu section (i.e. kill a thread which has crossposted articles and those articles will still appear when you go to read another newsgroup). Are there any plans to "fix" this? -- Chris Andersen (..!uunet!sequent!toontown!chris) "Life: live it or live with it!" -- Firesign Theater

I knew I should have cancelled this. Anyway, the problem (at SCO) was that Configure assumed that our version of news did not deal with the 'Relay-Version:' line, even though it does. As a result, it never checked that for cross-posting. I changed a define in config.h, and it works now.

He says it's not likely to change. Don't worry, you'll eventually become inured to this behavior. --tom -- Tom Christiansen tchrist@convex.com convex!tchrist "With a kernel dive, all things are possible, but it sure makes it hard to look at yourself in the mirror the next morning." -me
