I'm trying to get B news 2.11.18 running on a Macintosh IIcx that was just upgraded to A/UX 2.0 from 1.0. News was working just fine under 1.0, but after the upgrade things stopped working - specifically inews/rnews. I recompiled and installed everything to no avail. The symptoms are that the hourly unbatching of news via rnews -U gives "inbound news is garbled batch saved in /usr/spool/news/.bad/xxx" where xxx is some part of the name of the batch in SPOOLDIR/.rnews but not the full name. The batches are not removed from SPOOLDIR/.rnews and the articles are not unpacked into the spool directory anywhere. The batches in SPOOLDIR/.rnews are valid. I'm guessing that it has something to do with changes to the filesystem that are part of A/UX 2.0 but I'm not sure. I've tried compiling both with and without DIRENT defined. With it defined, rnews -U just hangs (doesn't use CPU time, just sits there). If anybody has gotten 2.11.?? running under A/UX 2.0 I'd love to hear from you. If its a matter of having the right localize.sh or if a patch is necessary, please send it. I'm beginning to tear my hair out!!! Thanks! -Bob ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bob Barker (612) 934-2136 Robert Barker & Associates ...!uunet!rosevax!bungia!wd0gol!barker barker@wd0gol.mn.org ...!amdahl!bungia!wd0gol!barker
