I've just found that xrn (X11R4 with one xrn-patch) cannot edit and post messages. I couldn't even post a gripe (most likely for the same reason). The symptoms were as follows: the editing window would accept a small number of characters (about one line) upon which both the editing window and the main xrn window would hang. Killing both windows from twm would still leave xrn itself hanging in the background even though the windows would be gone. I must admit that this certainly _does_ enforce short and concise messages - but isn't it a touch too drastic? If you have a patch or knowledge about how to fix the problem reply to the net and/or to me: gustav@arp.anu.oz.au Gustav Meglicki, Automated Reasoning Project, The Australian National University, GPO Box 4, Canberra, ACT, 2601, Australia

The version of XRN that came with R4 has serious problems (I didn't have a copy of R4, so I had to make the various changes to XRN based on the documentation, and I had no why to test it...) Anyway, you can grab a more recent version from shambhala.berkeley.edu (128.32.132.54) in pub/xrn6-5.1.tar.Z. Note, for those out there that grabbed 6.5, 6.5.1 has a working 'editorCommand'. Also, I'm getting bug reports that XRN 6.5 is dumping core inside of XawPanedSetRefigureMode on SUN's and HP's. Has anybody else seen this? This message was posted from XRN 6.5.1...

Has anybody else seen this? On HPUX 6.5, with the HP-supplied optimizer fix, I compiled it, ran it, and got a big green (well, I'm colorblind, so it could be light tan) box that says "Caught signal (10), cleaned up .newsrc and removed temp files".
