Hello everyone,
Someone here noticed that SET ITEM/HOLD wasn't working in News 5.9. I
looked into it, and found an error in newscmd.cld. It seems that Geoff
forgot to change one occurance of NEWSITEM to NOTEID in the syntax definition
for SET ITEM. A patch follows.
By the way: I've gotten two letters from people saying that the DIFF
that I posted stack dumps on them. I have had no problems at all here,
so naturally this is a bit hard to diagnose; is anyone else having this
problem, and if so could you at least tell me what line the error is
occuring at?

For those of you not on C V3.0, you will need to compile the DIFF program using /NOOPTIMIZE in order to get it to work correctly. At least that worked for me. -- USmail: Bob Sloane, University of Kansas Computer Center, Lawrence, KS, 66045 E-mail: sloane@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu, sloane@ukanvax.bitnet, AT&T: (913)864-0444 "The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline luggage." -- Mark Russell
