Hello there. I need to be able to post using ESC sequences (in other words: Post in JIS-Kanji, which starts with an ESCape sequence, sometime known as a ^[). Now, is it inews-client or is it inews-server that is stripping the ESCape sequences??? If it is the client that's doing it, then where is the definition that I need to change to stop it. If it is the server, then I'm in trouble... Please, I need help in this. Am I missing something real obvious??? I'm a hardware type, not a programming type, but I can fake it if I have to :-) Thanks in advance! I'll be reading this group for awhile for any pointers.

You're in trouble.

Thanks for the bad news :-) > bnews-2.11.19/src/inews.c line 1299. Got it...now to convince the sys admin of the NNTP server to rebuild bnews/inews. I don't think he wants to do it. BTW...another NNTP server I use uses cnews, and it was patched appropriately. Works fine now...but it doesn't have the fj.* groups I want to post on. Thanks everybody! Robert.

Look for lines like this. # strip invisible chars from body, a la B news. bells and escapes are right out. case "$trversion" in v7) tr -d '\1-\7\13\15-\37' ;; v6) tr -d '[\1-\7]\13[\15-\37]' ;; And modify them to v7) tr -d '\1-\7\13\15-\32\34-\37' ;; v6) tr -d '[\1-\7]\13[\15-\32][\34-\37]' ;; -- Norihiko Nakajima / Digital Equipment Corp.
