Reread what I wrote. I didn't say there was any problem with reading
news. The problem is that it expects the AmigaUUCP *postnews* program.

With what posting program? What port of Cnews? Which version of tin?
I bet you're still using the AmigaUUCP batcher and the articles aren't
going out properly locally and to the sites in your sys file.

Nice idea, but a check of the 1.16 sources (I haven't patched it to
1.18 yet because of the broken "no newline at end of file" patch
files)) shows they do:

#ifdef AMIGA
	sprintf (cp, "uucp:c/postnews %s", name);
#else			
#	ifdef INEWSDIR
		strcpy (buf, INEWSDIR);
		strcat (buf, "/");
		cp = &buf[strlen(buf)];
#	endif /* INEWSDIR */
		sprintf (cp, "inews -h < %s", name);
#endif	/* AMIGA */

And the "%s" gets hacked elsewhere. The AmigaUUCP postnews program
uses its own special argument format (Matt loves standards). I
couldn't think of a quick hack to make a front end that would make
standard inews look like it.

For Cnews you want to do the latter. In fact, If I ever get around to
fixing the patches to make the 1.18 sources properly, I'll probably
just compile it with gcc in the normal Unix version, adding back any
extra cool Amiga features like an AREXX port (which I don't think it has).

Not a hope. How *did* you get posting working?

	Or if you have a very nice system administrator in your area you can
get it for free. Such as with my BBS, although my Supra Modem isn't working
well so I decided to stop getting news from the Internet until I get a new
modem. He suggested a Telebit that is supposed to get over 5,000 cps with 
built in UUCICO.


	And if you have a UUCP compatible BBS program, you can run a network
between different BBS's in your area, and transfer the news or mail to each 
other every night.

Err..there is a problem with the Message-ID header in this version of
AXsh-RN.  It doesn't create a unique ID for each message posted so if
you post several messages in a row to the same group only the first will
be posted by relaynews.  The rest will be rejected as duplicates because
it seems the Message-ID is incorrectly grabbed from the next article
flag..which doesn't get changed until the next time unbatch/relaynews is
run.

Can someone post or forward the RFC for message-id's to Pasi.

I'm running 1.16 now, so, unless I made a mistake somewhere, I should
have the 1.16 RNEWS.  It would be the distribution version though.  Was
there a later one distributed?  I will check the version.

>Secondly, are you sure you have enough memory?

I have 3 Meg in my system.  Is that considered enough these days?  It's
an A500 with a 52M Supra hard disk.  Thanks for your reply.

Also, while I'm at it, should the software be able to distinguish between
compressed and uncompressed files automatically?  I've got one feed that
sends everything compressed and one that sends everything uncompressed.

The "higher" volume is in fact 0. :-) Which gives you a more serious
problem. You can't post to them because they are moderated and the
moderator resigned and a new one has never been chosen.

Please do. I was thinking a little less ambitiously about just saving
a few of the traffic statistics posted to news.lists.

I presume you have tried setting the local environment variables for Arn

This sounds like a good start....next is to add dialer information to this
'uulib:ports' file (uulib:Devices?)  Because not every device uses the same
dial string.  I have a big long one for my Worldblazer, to get UUCP spoofing
under v.32bis.....which doesn't apply if I call out on my T2500, and if I
call out of the Dual Standard, I want to make sure that it does v.32bis and
not HST.

Um...well gee..what is the "Crash" port???  Seems that most people get
either AmigaUUCP Plus or the Frank Edwards port and I can tell you that
the one I'm using doesn't update the lowest message counter for some
reason.  I believe I am using the Relaynews from AmigaUUCP Plus but
couldn't tell you for sure since it doesn't have a version
string embedded in it anywhere...argh!

These usually appear when the site you have attempted to send the files to
has refused them for some reason.
Rename them to X.xxxx if the corresponding D.xxxx and C.xxxx files are
still there, and try again.

I have added an XOVERVIEW extension to NNTP 1.5.11 that was released with
tin v1.1 PL8. However Rich Salz has also released an XOVR extension so
that will probally become the pseudo standard for retrieving nov indexes
via NNTP/INN.

Sounds like it is working perfectly OK to me.

It's impossible to tell whether it should be working this way (or not for
that matter) if you don't give us more information -- such as posting a copy
of your UULib:Sys file.  UULib:Sys defines what newsgroups that you feed to
which hosts. So, it could be entirely appropriate that all are being fed.
