Well, probably. trimnews likely caused the bitmap to be corrupted at an
earlier time. Have you run QB-Tools, or a similar tool, across the partition
since you got the first error? If it gives a clean report, then we have some
more investigating to do...

I'm posting trimnews-04, an update from the last trimnews I posted, in
a.s.a.uucp.patches momentarily. I strongly recommend that you use it,
especially if you are on V38 or V39. This trimnews now "does things correctly"
according to CBM. It has cleaned up some peoples errors; and I suspect it
will for most other folks too.

	Is there any software, either Arexx or Binary, that will
get news posted in a particular newsgroup and post it to mail?
Preferably, it would have to be smart enough to know which news is
new and which is old and not post news to mail if it already did
so.  Something like what is done with the ALT.SYS.AMIGA.UUCP
newsgroup passing through mail. Any help would be appreciated. Take
care..

I have 5 meg of ram so it is improbable that an allocation is failing.  An

Nothing much, really.  It just puts an "N" in front of new articles.  You

Kin is a somewhat archaic word for "relation".  So I meant "Aux: and
relatives" or "Aux: and similar programs".  I apologize for using such an
obscure expression in an international newsgroup.

For a few days I was running tn with the -u option to update the
databases.  I have ceased doing this.  It guru'ed on about every 3d run.

Hello everyone.  I upgraded to UUCP v1.16 about 3 weeks ago and have been
running into Hard Link problems ever since.  However, it seems to be
very infrequent so I haven't been able to narrow down what it could be.

I receive my news from the upstream and then it starts to unbatch.  Lets
say for example it is unbatching news to alt.sys.amiga.uucp
It will unbatch an article and then once and a while come up with

UNABLE TO CREATE HARDLINK to UUNEWS:alt.sys.amiga.uucp

This is very frustrating since I am losing about 15% of my incoming news
because of this error.  If anyone has ANY info that may help, then I would
greatly appreciate it..

  I am curious about a few things.  OTher than UUNet (Which I cannot
FTP from because the software I use for FTP doesn't return a 'name' for
my site) where are the current sources to Cnews available?  Who is
the current keeper of sources?  If I do any work on it (And I usually

to make this work available to others.  Since I think I remember reading
that the person that origionally ported it is now not using AmigaDos much,
I am curious if someone else has picked it up.


  I have also recently been reading that TIN is a newsreader that works
well over the serial port.  I am curious if the sources are available
to this program, and who the author/keeper of sources is?  If sources are
not available, does anyone have a simple 'console' based newsreader that
has sources released?  I am wanting to set things up on my machine so that
I can remotely call in and read news from other sites (IE: From school).

  I'm also curious what different people use for an editor while sending 
Email/News from remote.  I've heard of a MicroEmacs that works over the
serial port, but I'm curious if a simple 'line editor' exists for those
'icky' times when I might be forced to call in from a non-ANSI compatable
terminal.

Hello Folks,

	I have some questions like usual.  I know Amiga UUCP 1.16D or
previous do not bounce mail, so I was wondering are their plans to add
this feature into Amiga UUCP?  Or is there some external utility which
takes care of this?  Also, I am not sure if this is a Bug or not, but
perhaps you could shed some light into this.  My systems address is:

megalith.miami.fl.us

	By the great power of Internet, I have been able to configure a
domain park.  In other worlds my system manages all of megalith in the
megalith.miami.fl.us domain.  This means that any system which feeds off
of me, will have an instant address of:

site_name.megalith.miami.fl.us

	So I have a system by name of damage, it now has a US domain
address without having to register within the US Domain.  My System
serves as the gateway.  

	Now the problem is that while testing out this new toy, I spelled
damage wrong in the address.  I sent mail to:

postmaster@damaeg.megalith.miami.fl.us

	The mail was routed to my system properly, however once it got
here, Rmail saw that damaeg is not a supported machine.  Instead of
Bouncing the message back to the sender, it sent it back to my feed for
further processing.  My feed in turn sent it back to my System.  My
system then sent it back to my feed.  My feed sent it back to my System,
etc....  Until of course I killed the controll bacth file because it was
a waste of bandwith.  Is this a bug?  Is there a Way to bounce mail such
as this and other more exotic things?

	Also while I am at it, I was wondering.  UUCP has been around for
quite some time.  I won't mention age, it may get upset at me.  Anyway,
there have been more efficient protocols which have come out over time
which are faster than UUCP. One such is Zmodem.  Knowing that UUCP stands
for Unix to Unix Copy, will it ever be updated to incorporate any faster
protocol besides g.  I mean with Zmodem at 14,400 I get 1800 CPS, why
couldn't this be done with UUCP.  Are their proposals in UUCP land
pending in some RFC or some such?  And what is this t protocol I have
heard mention of which is used for HST's using UUCP? faster? Better?

Take care....

:-D

Tin offers the 'r' mode at group selection and group index level to show
only unread groups and unread articles respectively. 

Unread articles & threads are shown with a '+' before them. The 
'+' character can be changed to example 'N' by setting a variable 
in the tinrc file.

  The latest official release of UUPoll is 0.68, posted to
alt.sys.amiga.uucp.patches on 3rd August.  You can find it on a few
anonymous FTP servers in Germany.  Currently there is no need for a new
release (there exists R0.69, but I won't release this one), so try to
get R0.68, even if you are using OS1.3, because the R0.68 (OS2.04 only)
distribution includes the R0.67 one (the last one which supports OS1.3).

  Please don't ask me to send you a copy of the distribution archive (I
have to pay for international mails ;_) Have a look at the FTP sites or
ask some guys in your country to send you the archive.

     Hmm, what  has  AVM  (a mailreader) to do with news (I understand
someone  intends  to  monitor the news for special headers identifying
the  sending  system  as  an  Amiga)? Anyway, I doubt watching Headers
would  be  a  good thing - for example `Arn' adds a `X-Newsreader: Arn
<version>'  and  creates  IDs  with  an  `*'  on a fixed position. Ann
(still  my  preferred  newsreader)  add  `X-Newsreader: Ann <version>'
(look  at  this  header),  creating IDs containg the string `ANN' (you
won't  notice  that  in  this  header  as I post thru my `inews' which
modifies  some headers, among others the message-id). Don't know about
others ...

     I would  suggest  something  like  this  for  future  releases of
AmigaUUCP (this is an excerpt of my `install.sendmail'-script):

The contents of the E.* file tells you nothing. The error reason will be
contained in UUSpool:Logfile. You can search for error reasons doing
something like this (on 2.04):

            search UUSpool:Logfile "error | fail" pattern >t:errors
            set linecount `wc -l`
            if $linecount gt 0 val
                sendmail -raw -t root -f uucp-errors -s "UUCP Errors" <t:errors
            endif
            delete >nil: quiet t:errors

after each UUCICO. If you get this mail, you should examine your logfile
in more detail. The E.* file is simply the X.* file renamed....
