[comp.sys.apollo] News and SR10.1, Xref & nntp problems

jnp@mjolner.tele.nokia.fi (J|rgen N|rgaard) (04/25/89)

Hello,

(Preliminary information:
	machine DN3500, SR10.1, BSD4.3
	news B 2.11 22/1/87
	rn   4.3 patchlevel #40
	nntp 1.5 (26 feb 88)
)

	I have two problems with the news-reader and would like to know if
	others have had the same problems and if fixes exists.

	plain rn:
	does not do Xref. (The information stored in the news files are
	correct, verified manually  and with nntp-rn from a SUN

	nntp rn (rrn):
	on a remote apollo it dies when going to display an article
	(if NOT using '=' first) {"segmentation fault"}

	If using '=' first it displays the "what next"-prompt but shows
	no article. The prompt is on the first line of the screen.

	(I want to use nntp to have the least depending setup of news
	 on a heterogeneous network. Of course linking to the same binary
	 on the main Apollo would work)


Any release-dates for news 3.0 ? Will 'rn' and 'nntp' be updated accordingly ?
