Here is the description how to port the new TASS 3.2 to Coherent. When I first tried to port it from MINIX it was more difficult. But now it is so easy you can add the changes by editing the 4 files: Makefile: CFLAGS= -DCOHERENT LIBS= -lterm -lndir fixstack 1000 tass curses.c: use that of TASS 3.0/Coherent, rename Clr2Eoln () to CleartoEOLN or the new one: Replace wherever sgtty is used #ifdef BSD by #ifdef COHERENT (with termio keyboard didn't work) main.c: at the end of the file there is system-call replacement for mkdir. replace #ifdef M_XENIX by #ifdef COHERENT mail.c: add #define off_t long That is all folks. Who now couldn't get TASS 3.2 compiled will be punished by selling his Coherent. Have fun with TASS, Joachim PS: Remember: I did not write TASS, I still added this five lines. So you should mail a "Thank you" to the author if you like the program: Rich Skrenta ( skrenta@blekko.commodore.com ) +---------------------------------------+-------+-------------------+-------+ | Joachim Riedel | @ @ | Don't worry, | @ @ | | Geschwister-Scholl-Strasse 48 | \_/ | keep smiling | \_/ | | D-6050 Offenbach am Main +-------+-------------------+-------+ | Tel. +49 69 85 62 25 | joachim@jrix.radig.de | +---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+

This function is only used in one of the Files so I just gave one solution, there are a lot of other ways to do that. > Has anyone get it work with Cnews? I've tried to do posting from > Tass but suddenly it reboot when executing inews? Any idea? I only tried it with WNEWS 3.0 and had no problems. I still wait for the diskette with CNews/Coherent. This article is written from within TASS 3.2 and sent by CNEWS but on my Interactive System. > Yeah, but beware.. it create many small files in your /.tindx.. You shouldn't use tass -u ! tass -u creates for every newsgroup one file You should try NN and find several megabytes of data in /usr/spool/nn. Nevertheless is NN too big for Coherent. When I get CNEWS/CO I will test it. > > PS: Remember: I did not write TASS, I still added this five lines. > > So you should mail a "Thank you" to the author if you like the program: > > Thanks Rich! Interesting way of mailing I think Joachim +---------------------------------------+-------+-------------------+-------+ | Joachim Riedel | @ @ | Don't worry, | @ @ | | Geschwister-Scholl-Strasse 48 | \_/ | keep smiling | \_/ | | D-6050 Offenbach am Main +-------+-------------------+-------+ | Tel. +49 69 85 62 25 | joachim@jrix.radig.de | +---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+

Any idea? > BTW, try another fixstack-value (i.e. fixstack nowValue+1000 tass). That should help. Looks like a stack overrun and Coherent is up, up and away. Joachim
