I believe what is happening above is that RNews is trying to link to a
file that is not there or that has been deleted so instead of linking to
it, it is copying the file.  There is nothing you can do when the file
to be linked to isn't there.

The dcron (v2.0) that comes with Matt's uucp distribution requires 1.3 (according

Funny that you would want to do this.  In the last couple of days I have
been looking around for a used SUN 3/50 (I don't like the 3b1's or
3b2's my
school has for sale).  I want to run slip  from the Amiga to the SUN
(whenever I finally get it) also using AmigaNOS on the Amiga side and using
tcp/ip from SunOS on the SUN side. (Maybe I should ask, tcp/ip is
included with SunOS, is it not?- with 3b1's it's an option).
I would attach my packet radio modem tnc to the second serial port on the
Sun and use that for my network connection.   

I would like to also hear from someone who is currently running such a setup
or who is running NFS from Amiga to Sun over slip.

	The bviggest problem that I've had with newsbreak on the amiga is
that some shar files are only partially recognized. newsbreak thinks they

I end up with the originals deleted and an empty directory. :-( It's very
possible that I'm just running into an external unshar program that doesn't
work well, but I'm not sure if that's the case.

i have a script that runs it for me whenever i have an exchange.  in the

I've seen some verifiable problems with A2090's and hard links, even when
using the appropriate version of FastFileSystem. There were some problems
with hardlinks in beta versions of 2.03 and before. Thus, it is important
that the latest version of FastFileSystem be used. There are some controllers
out there that don't support'em at all.

As far as the connection to hardlinks -- it is the only thing that is really
different between 1.15 and 1.16. Trimnews changed by about four lines to add
the hierarchical support, and none at all for hardlinks -- the filesystem
should take care of it all.

There is evidence to show that if you've run QBTools to fix up a partition
once you've seen these errors, they will just get worse. If you format, they
may go away. This is purely circumstantial however.

Personally, I've never had the problem. And no one that has reported the
problem could go in and look at the diskmap itself, and tell me exactly
what was going on (well, the V39 problem we resolved that way, more or less,
but not this one).

The binary you're running has lots of the usual unix calls commented
out. If you compile a version with GCC and ixemlib.library it will go
back to trying to spawn things that will cause errors because they're
not there. If you have an sh compatible shell, and all the right unix
utilities that an sh script is likely to use, you're practically home
free. 

I often don't want to unshar them anyways, just archive them in their
original parts, so I added an option to tell newsbreak to just skip
the unsharing. If I want to do it later by hand, I can watch for
errors and tweak things.

This does not work. As I had mentioned, if you start GPFAX with -S then
it never seems capable of receiving a FAX. I beleive the OPENSERIAL fails
with return code 10 under rx. 

It does  work if you remove the -S and start it before getty and then unlisten.
But the whole point of my excersize was to start GPFAX from getty, and not 
have GPFAX running all the time.

Also another limitation is  that with using the AREXX commands you can only
send to phone numbers that are already in the phone book, and there is no
way to add numbers to the phone book from Arexx.

It would be could to have a full feature arexx command that you could specify
all the details to create the covertpage etc.. and send the fax without having
to enter it all into the phone book.

Actually, the CNews binaries and scripts don't take up much room at all.
You can delete all the man pages and source code and you are left with
probably something less than 300k.  What takes up some room is your
Active file and history files.  If you don't keep much history around,
it might be possible to run on a floppy system.

I can't see why anyone would run any type of news system on floppies
anyway.  Jezz...small hard drives are cheap these days.

Apart from the gateway.. (try fidogate2_3.zoo), you need some fidonet
software.. if not wanting a bbs, then some point software like
PointManager, or April would probably work for you...  Or maybe all you
need is a fidofrontend (like TrapDoor), and a tosser, (like TrapToss)...

sounds like an interesting setup :-)
