Ive finally got around to getting UUCP 1.08D up and running, but I regularly ( say 9/10th of the time ) get a crash when I try to run "batchnews" : The power LED dies, the drive one comes on ( but does no real disk access ), and the pointer freezes ( + the 1st time it happened, it stuffed up the validation on dh0: ) : all in all, NOT GOOD :-( !!! ...Hold everything, I just had another crash, and got a guru 81 {0's} 9 : Freed memory twice I believe ? ...Just did it AGAIN, same guru, validation got stuffed both times !! Has anyone else had this sort of problem ?? : All I know is that the file in "UUSPOOL:batch" is gone, but I dont know if it spools the article ( after a crash that is ) ...I also now know that altho the UUSPOOL:batch/site file is removed, no files make it into the spool directory. Please, HELP !! ...Due to the fact I cant batchnews up with 1.08, Im mailing this to work, and will post it from there, but Id appreciate it if E-mail replies ( if any ) could be sent to "bart@asgard..." ( see below ) Just in case it helps, , Im running an A500, normal everyday 20Mb A590 with 2Mb installed ( total of 3Mb mem ), WB+KS 1.3 & Id consider this a major bug !! :-( & --------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Butcher : bart@asgard.pub.uu.oz.au ..!munnari.oz.au!labtam!eyrie!asgard!bart ``Life!
