     Are you  sure  you're  running `matching revisions' of lockserial
and   uucico?  That  is,  both  are  from  either  the  1.15  or  1.16
distribution  -  you  simply  can't mix versions due to changes in the
locking procedures!  Sounds to me as if you've forgotten to update ALL
files  (lockserial & jrcomm work fine for me (`run lockserial jrcomm')
with 1.15) ...

What does he want you to run over SLIP?

Seriously, in terms of UUCP your question doesn't really make sense. If you
are slip'ed to a news host, then the obvious thing to do would be to run trn
or tin or whatever at the host your SLIP link is with.

A normal dialin connection would be a LOT easier.

If you want to do NNTP over SLIP, there are people doing it using AmigaNOS
and ARexx scripts, but its not "clean". AmigaNOS has SLIP (and is the only
released non-commercial software for SLIP that I know of on the Amiga),
but its very limited.

UUCP and SLIP don't make a lot of sense together, IMO.

I had the same problem when I started getting news from a site that used C-news
what was done was to make cnews add the #! cunbatch line as the first line
of the batch file (after the file was compressed). Also it would be very simple
to modify the rnews.c for it to do decompression if it does not find the #!
line in the begining of a batch file (at the time of my problem I didn't have
the source, so I couldn't do it my self).

Subject: UUCP problem (no news)
Date: 19 Aug 92 20:29:07 PST
Organization: BBS

I've got a problem that has me stumped.

My system is dialing out to my site every 15 minutes. My modem logs on
perfectly, exchanged ID & Pw data perfectly, but then the two sit there for
about 90 seconds and then disconnect.

My log reads as follows:

(08/18-22:10:24) uucico,netcomsv,- DIALED netcomsv
(08/18-22:10:26) uucico,netcomsv,- SUCCEEDED call to netcomsv
(08/18-22:10:28) uucico,netcomsv,- Missing R<msg> msg

I get this on "almost" every call out. EVen if I have mail to go out, I get
this. The only time we exchange mail is when my site has mail for me. But I
haven't received one single news message in about 5 days. I've been running for
about 7 months without a problem until now. I didn't touch a thing and checked
everything in my UULIB: directory. Everything is there and as it always was.

I called my site, and they spent a couple of hours with me over the phone, and
didn't have a clue. They said everything was fine on their end, and I also had
a ton of news batched and waiting to be picked up.

If ANYONE has even a suggestion on what that "Missing" line may mean, please
E-Mail. If you reply here, I won't see it.

Thanks!

Sorry, I should shouldn't I?  Basically I spent awhile hacking on a program 
to archive comp.[sources|binaries].amiga files.  For the most part it is the
header information which is lacking.  When it comes from the moderator it has
directory structure information in it.  This allows a script to re-create an
archive.

I suppose I should hack a script to put files into that format.  I will do
that eventually.

I've got situation where I would like to use the yet to be implemented
mirroring feature of BMS.

Matt has said recently that he will not be able to continue development
of Amiga-UUCP (I too want to thank him for his great contributions).
I suppose that applies to BMS as well.

Does anyone have a notion of how much work it would be to implement
mirroring in BMS?  Has anyone started work on this?  I may be tempted
to try the implementation myself to handle my own situation.

This is a bug fix release.  Thanks to the astute efforts of some 
individuals out there, some memory allocation problems were picked up and 
are now fixed.  Also at the request of another user, nodes are now only 
checked in the first 7 characters for uniqueness - this is all that UUCP 
uses, after all.

In my opinion, this would be way to slow to be functional, unless I'm doing
something seriously wrong wrt files and AREXX.  I wrote a simple script to
just scan my uuspool: directory, determine if any files are present, and if
so, do they contain mail, check against command line "excludes", and then
send a mail message to your normal mailbox saying in effect that "You have
mail present in folder foo".  This is something along the lines of what
anymail does, but integrates nicely with elm.

Anyways, if mail folders do exist and contain mail, say "root", then this
script scans your normal mail folder to see if it's already informed you
once that this mail exists.  If it does, it deletes the message, and resends
another message (for update purposes).  Now, to the point - if your normal
mail folder happens to be large for some reason, say, greater than 50K, this
scan and send process is *very* slow.  So slow that at first I had thought
the program had hung for some reason.  But it didn't.

This script could probably be made a little more efficient, but certainly
note 300% more that would make it acceptable (though I'm using it until I
get around to writing a similar C program).

Later,

Tony

Much better, leave out the -n (it's the default) and add a -pri.

As the 1.16a docs (should?) say, this depends. If this is a primary
newsfeed, -P4 or -P5 should be fine. Mail will do better with -P3 or -P4.

This can be varied, if so desired. With your original passwd entry, STARL

Subject: Where is the best Amiga UUCP FTP site?
Organization: FCIA Univ. of Chicago

    What is the best site for FTPing "AmigaUUCP 1.16"? The .lha file
"AmigaUUCP1_16.lha" on /systems/amiga/incoming/comms/uucp (i think)
on wuarchive is corrupt. I got several other programs at the same
session, and tried to get this one twice.

    There was a file with the binaries only, but I need the full
pile of info. A DMS compressed file of the original release disks
would be ideal (the text files refer to a test using the first disk
with all assigns already made.)

   If someone could refer me to the best place, I would be happy to
get the files and put the best version on hubcap and wuarchive.

   BTW, ftp.uu.net only has version 1.15.

P.S. Is there a AmigaUUCP FAQ? I checked news.answers, and found nothing
     in the spool here.

Just to clarify, UUCP doesn't compress anything itself.
News s/w often compresses and batches articles when sending them
across a uucp link, but mail is less often batched or compressed.

On the other hand, CSLIP will compress things for you and is supported
by the latest version of Commodore's AS225 TCP/IP s/w for sale by
GFXBase. 

And for either UUCP or SLIP you can let your modems do the
compression. With a Telebit Worldblazer you can use V.42bis
compression and Telebit LZ compression at the same time to get over
4:1 compression.
 
I'm getting by with just UUCP for now, but I'll probably add CSLIP one
of these days to get the added functionality of full Internet
connectivity.
