[news.software.nn] a problem with saving with wildcards

yorkr@p4.cs.man.ac.uk (Richard York) (06/18/91)

Hi,
I havn't posted to this group before so I apologise if the question has come up
before. We are running nn (version 6.4.13 #22) and when I try and save a group
of files selected using a * in the filename so that it saves the articles with
unique names. When I do this however it reports that it can't create unique
names and crashes (sometimes). It even produced a core dump once. It is running
under sunos 4.1 on a network of 3/50's. I suppose I should give the full error
message produced but I can't remember it! Sorry.
    Is this a bug in nn or am I using it incorrectly, is give the file name with
a wildcard (*) in it?
    I hope someone can shed light on my problem,
			Richard York.
