[tor.news] Pathalias and NEWS changes.

clewis@lsuc.uucp (Chris Lewis) (12/02/87)

Due to a number of things, I didn't manage to snarf a copy of the most
recent copy of pathalias from comp.sources.unix.  Along with all of the
noise about NEW MAP formats, and upgrading to 2.11 news to latest patch
(that works of course)....

Maybe there should be a discussion of making sure them's that want to
do the upgrade can get the stuff that they need.  Posting sources
locally in tor.news might be a good way to go about this.  though, I
understand several sites forward tor, can and ont via mail all over the
place.

Dicussion anyone?  If anybody's interested, both lsuc and spectrix
have complete sets of 2.11 news patches up to 13 to offer in trade.
Untouched by human hands - and even with a few patches to the patches.
Even, gasp, some pointers on bringing C-news up.  Lsuc's C-news seems
to be working fine now.

Any one who wants can set up a contact with me (david@geac) and get the
sources for news2.11 to patchlevel #13 and pathalias version 9 sources.
Also smail and sendmail stuff.

I can only guarantee that they work for BSD class machines, but since
all the officially blessed patches are applied and all the unofficially
blessed patches are available, anyone should be able to get these things
working.

If you want the sources, drop me a line, telephone me, hint in this
newsgroup and they are yours.
