Hi! I seem to have found an interesting 'feature' of waffle 1.65. It
appears that if you have an alias list (I call my via "+ filename" in
~\aliases), some names are repeated, and sent the same mail article 2-4
times. 
Alias file clip:
zarovich            + c:\waffle\system\r1.zzz
(c:\waffle\system\r1.zzz contains 39 names.)

Static file clip:
numlist      : 100
RR.LEN       : 127

Misc. clip:
i386/16
DOS 5.0
2mb ram
QEMM 6.02
130mbIDE

     Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Email or post is fine. :-)

I don't use desqview at this time (maybe I should).

I would like to read 40 or 60 lines to a page. It is very easy
to read on my VGA screen, and that way I can get through
newsgroups much faster.

What the user is doing is going into command mode, ON HIS MODEM, not
yours.

I'm running 5 computers on a Lantastic network. 1 for local use, 3 for running
a 4-node PCBoard system, and 1 running Waffle.

Waffle runs fine. The problem comes when running uucico. If I try accessing
the disk at the same time I get lots of recieve errors. It could be because
it doesn't have a 16550, or maybe because it's only a 286-16 (I'm puting
a 386-33 in it this weekend).

I also run Desqview on a node. It runs 2 of my PCBoard nodes.

It's almost definitely *his* modem that he is talking to with those AT
commands; if he is putting your modem into command mode, it will not take
input from the remote end, unless it's a really, really bizarre modem.

However, +++ is still a problem -- add S2=255 to your init string to disable
the escape sequence.

o  Sending a newsfeed over an E-Mail link

   Occasionally someone will have an account on a machine with
   no access to news or to a particular newsgroup. It is sometimes
   desirable to E-Mail individual articles to that person.

   In this example assume Witzleben@lugnut.com wishes to be
   sent rec.humor.funny through E-Mail. Place a line in the feeds
   file \WAFFLE\SYSTEM\FEEDS similar to

	witz /batch=mail
[note from fenner: this should actually be
	witz /batch=mail rec.humor.funny]

   This will "prequeue" a list of articles in \SPOOL\MAIL\WITZ.
   Articles can then be sent out by issuing the command

	batch -switz -mWitzleben@lugnut.com

   Note that both -s(site) and -m(address) are required.

   We do not recommend heavy use of this feature, since sending
   usenet through the mail is *very* inefficient. Feeding anyone
   more than one or two groups is generally a bad idea.

   It is a good idea to obtain permission of intermediate sites
   before feeding significant amounts (either in size or number)
   of Usenet news through mail.

Yes, the permits file will help you with this problem.

Give a -u flag to the UUCICO command line, with a different value for each
host.  Then, make a seperate permit for each host, with that account
specified.  For example, let's say I have three downstream hosts,
"llbbs", "jksclub", and "wcfpc".  They log on using accounts "uull",
"uujks", and "uuwcf", respectively.  I run UUCICO with:
$uucico -r0 -u%A
in the shell field in the password file.

Then, my permits file would look like:

llbbs	/system=llbbs /account=uull
	/commands=rnews,rmail /download="anonymous"
	/upload="uploads" /time=any

jksclub	/system=jksclub /account=uujks
	/commands=rnews,rmail /download="anonymous"
	/upload="uploads" /time=any

wcfpc	/system=wcfpc /account=uuwcf
	/commands=rnews,rmail /download="anonymous"
	/upload="uploads" /time=any

NOTE: I haven't actually *tried* this; this is just my interpretation of
the documentation.

Subject: External Editors
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 92 14:48:04 CDT
Organization: Infochi System of Chicago

I am confused about implementing external editors in Waffle dos 1.65.
The docs say a user may select an alternative editor from the status
menu. Does this mean the editor then replaces the internal line editor
while the user is attempting to post or mail? If Waffle is supposed to
invoke the default external editor then I have a problem. I modified the
editors file and menu but the editor only executes when I include it in
the external file as an external program. The internal editor stll comes
up even though its not the default. Have I missed another configuration
area that needs to be modified or am I guilty of a glaring and stupid
omission? Or is the external editor used only to edit regular text
files such as a sig file?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We just hashed this one out, just a few days ago.  I've found only one
combination that works, and that thanks to another Waffler (I forget whom).
Firstly, no %-parameters will work at all with the /dir= option..  that in
and of itself pretty much screws it.

I'm just starting to play around with Waffle 1.65 and was having the same

My question then.....

Do all of the silly numbers in the left hand column of the dirs file have to
be consecutive? (if so what a dumb idea!)

If so has someone made a sed script to do this?

If this is true then it is going to be very difficut to manage this file!

Does anyone know how to get waffle to accept news from an nntp feed?
I get my news via nntp under SLIP using Phil Karn's NOS.  This causes
news to be stored in a single file called "batch.txt" (if I use the
"nntp batch on" parameter), but if I try to feed this to Waffle using
"rnews<batch.txt", rnews chokes and gives me "out of sync" messages.

Tips appreciated.

Gary -

What I did was add an extra uuxqt to my UUSHELL.BAT (at the end)
followed by a call to the POLL.BAT

My UUCICO line is set up to call out only if there is existing work.
You then ask "How do you make a poll to your terminal server"?
Well, I have a separate batch file (I call it GPOLL.BAT) that
makes a call (uucico -ssystem) where it will force a call on the
scheduled times.

Think about it.  Questions? email me and I'll send you sample files.

To use DV and Lantastic, load Lantastic first.  This is a must for unattended
server operation.

My experience is from Lantastic 4 (I think) Adapter Independent version, and 
DV 2.31 on a 386 with Ethernet.  You can load the NETBIOS stuff before DV
and the rest (REDIR/SERVER) inside a DV window to get those services in a 
window, but you have to use the Quarterdeck NETBIOS driver for DesqView, and
Lantastic behaves unreliably when it is not the foreground window.  There were
also problems if you had to manually close a Lantastic window...  you could 
not restart Lantastic without unloading the AILANBIO TSR and reloading it.

Basicaally, the only reliable configuration for a server was to load all the
Lantastic TSR's before loading DesqView.

I strongly suspect that its because your uucpname isn't defined
properly (johler@.uucp)

If this isn't the problem then its possibly because your uucp
neighbour is sending you a uucpname that contains an upper-case
character(s).  This causes DOS Waffle munging to fail.  Check the
'.X' file to see if this is the case.  I've already reported this
to Tom.

If its neither of the above then check to make sure your uucp
neighbour isn't adding an extra 'space' character after the
uucpname in the 'X' file.  I've seen the most recent version of
Taylor uucp do this.

If the uucpname in the '.X' file is getting screwed up you can
write a small awk script to fix the uucpname before you uuxqt.
Works for me!
