[comp.sys.next] NewsGrazer/CNEWS configuration warning.

dnanian@uw.com (Dave Nanian) (05/05/91)

Hello to all on comp.sys.next.  Please excuse me for any mistakes I may make,  
as this is my first post.  I've been following this topic through Brown  
University's NEXT-L, and now I'm *live*!

Anyway, this weekend I finally got CNEWS up and running along with NewsGrazer,  
and I ran into a small problem that I thought others might be interested in.   
Again, note that I'm a virtual moron when it comes to this stuff, since I  
haven't done it before.

When you configure NewsGrazer for the first time, be sure not to fill in the  
"Path:" choice in Info/Preferences.../Post.  If you do, your articles will be  
posted locally, but will not be sent to your upstream feeds.

This took me lots 'o hours to find, so I hope this saves others some time.   
Does anyone know what the "Path:" configuration thingy is for?

(Thanks to Craig Goss for all his help, too!)

Good to be here, everyone!
