[comp.unix.xenix.sco] Bnews reply problem

root@abode.UUCP (Super user) (10/04/90)

I recently installed Bnews on my SCO XENIX 2.3.2 system. My problem is that
when I reply to a message it comes up with the 'append .signature file [y]'
prompt. After I say yes it comes up with something like:

Can't open directory/file: /bin/mail

I can post messages without any problem.

ln /usr/bin/mail /bin/mail

Under XENIX, mail is in /usr/bin, not /bin.

# type mail
mail is /usr/bin/mail
# ln /usr/bin/mail /bin/mail

    Is BNEWS a new newsreader that I have missed? (been outta action for
a couple of months)..
