rd@tarpit.uucp (Bob Thrush) (07/27/89)
After converting to C News from B News 2.11.14 with dbz, I noticed
that rn was no longer marking cross-posted articles as read in the
`Xref:'d newsgroups. There were 2 problems associated with the fact
that both rn (with DBM) and dbz.c v1.5 (as posted by Jon Zeeff)
forced lower case article ids while C News and its version of dbz.c
wanted case insensitive ids. As a result, rn could no longer find
cross-posted articles in chase_xrefs() in bits.c.
The relevant change to rn is attached. Your line nos. will
probably not match since I had to make other changes to get
my compiler to accept "bits.c". Make sure that you #define
CNEWS to implement the change (I did it the Makefile). The
dbz problem was corrected by using the C News version of libdbz.a.
