I have built the latest C news version using gcc (from robobar.co.uk) and am trying to get everything running smoothly. I have the current machine running the SCO BNews 2.11.19, and a serial connection to the test platform. Spacefor is currently set as a null, and all the scripts have been hacked for the ":" instead of the #!/bin/sh Now the problem. I want to send all news from specific groups to the new test platform using ihave/sendme. I have the docs/man pages/instructions from Cnews, Bnews and "Managing UUCP and Usenet" and have been over this a couple of times. However, I can't force the sendbatch to send the ihave message. Sendbatch does not appear to work properly. After some fooling around, I figured out what it was trying to do. I faked the entire news system for comp.unix to the ihave message and it still failed. Anyone who knows what the proper scripts for bnews - sendbatch and cnews - spacefor for Xenix 2.3.2 should be, please let me know.
