Yep, I've just seen that one.  But still I'm unconvinced.  For a
start Avon just non-chalantly comes out with the fact that they're
auto-repairing, which is pretty miraculous for Federation technology.
This would lead me to believe that they've already seen the auto-
repair in action.

Secondly if you look at the 'unedited' tapes it shows them taking the
guns from the armoury and saying (from memory) "They're probably some
sort of firearm."  But never do they show where they learn that you're
supposed to plug the guns into the power belts, which another scene
I remember.

It sounds like a conspiracy to deny me my memory.  Is the Federation
at work here? I expect to see couch mounted red flashing lights any
moment now (-:

    I remember the supposed 'phantom' scenes, but from my memory they were not
 part of any release of the film.
    The radio play of Star Wars (was on ABC radio a long time ago) had all the
 previously mentioned scenes. The vioces were done by the appropriate actors in
 many cases and the mind just fills in the blanks.
    Also the book mantions many of the same scenes, however, movie books
 always seem to have scenes in them that were never part of the movies.

I have been trying to install Sunlink Internet Router Version 4.0 onto
a Sun 4/165 running SunOS 4.1.1, and having problems.

The new kernel is generated ok, and boots, but as soon as any network
software is loaded (eg portmap), the machine crashes with a "BAD TRAP"

Sun tell me that the versions should work together.. has anyone seen
this before??

Accoring to the July 1992 Sun Tecnical Bulletin, the latest release of
SunLink IR is 6.0 (!). I would hesitate to put my memory to the test, but
version 4.0 sounds like it is 1989 vintage software (possibly runs on
SunOS 4.0 or thereabouts).

BTW, what is a Sun 4/165?

We had one of our suns fail (on friday 5pm, of course :-) with an unknown
error. When it attempts to self test it just sits there with the testing
message on the screen and flashes the light one then seven times, and then
repeats the one then seven flashing sequence. If the meaning of the failures
were in the manual I'd've looked them up, but the manual kindly excludes
this information, instead requesting you contact sun.

Does anybody know what these flashes mean?

The system is an IPC with only the internal disk, and 24MB of memory,
running SunOS 4.1.2

Dear Sirs,

I didn`t find a news-group(s) dealing with European Projects like

Do such News-groups exist, where someone can get up-to-date information
about European projects in the fields of :

  Electronics & Computers & Education & Research & Design ?

If not, please give a hint how to get Up-to-date E-mail information 
about projects like those handled by Brussels etc. 

It is too bad to get those informations by ordinary mail 
quite late (sometimes about 2 weeks before the time to apply).

Having such networks and losing some chances is too sad fact.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

I still get the "No Subject" complaint from defhdrs.awk.

My "config" file contains:

# This is not, repeat NOT, a master control file for all of C News.

where /usr/local/binspecial contains links for 'mail' and 'rsh'

Subject: "Proxy" newsfeed - is it possible?

Any ideas on solving the following problem will be appreciated:

The scenario is that there is a system (hippo) running Cnews, and a
separate system (kudu) that has a dialup modem.  Both these systems are
connected via TCP/IP, and hippo can talk to kudu via uucp over TCP/IP.

hippo is happily providing newsfeeds via nntp to several sites, but
there is now a requirement for providing a newsfeed via dialup modem.
Hassle is that hippo hasn't got any modems, and kudu has the modems but
isn't running news.

So, is there any obvious (or not so obvious) method that can be used
for hippo to provide a newsfeed "by proxy", as it were, to a third
site?

There *is* a simple solution.  Get gnu awk.  Install it as
/usr/local/bin/gawk.  Change all ref's from awk to gawk.  This
actually works.

Though gawk may have many additional useful features, your problem could
be solved much quicker by simply changing the \t sequence to an actual
tab character (in vi, ":g/\\t/s// /g").  There are two awk scripts that
                                ^^^ (tab character here)
need to be changed, as I recall -- "defhdrs.awk" and "tear", both in the
lib/newsbin/inject directory.

We have an HP9000/827 and ran into this problem about 3 months ago when
setting up cnews; this is how we solved it.

The problem with both of these solutions (and the one I have finally
used) is that you can't be sure you have found all the places where
awk (or $PATH) is used. While C News does make allowances for all sorts
of brain-damage, it is still possible to find new inventive ways
to break things. The solution I have used is to prepend a directory
containing a real awk (actually it is awk-7.0 for the 7xx series which
was left off the 8.0x distribution, and is available by calling HP);
this requires that the inject/tear and relay/sendnews have the new
directory explicitly added to PATH (only 'tear' uses awk, but I have
also put links for 'mail' and 'rsh' into my prepended directory since
neither of those commands works in a reasonable manner either).
[Actually I made the changes in the source code relay/{sh,aux}/ directories
so I don't have to keep making the changes after recompiling.]
With these changes, I have not had to massage the awk input.

Just for the record, the other changes were in 'libusg/ftime.c'
(change declaration for 'times' to return 'clock_t'), and in
'expire/Makefile' (to remove the dependency of "newsinstall" on
"explist" since "explist" can't be rebuilt by 'news' (who runs
'make newsinstall' from 'doit.news' as 'news').

Subject: Mounting news on several machines...

I recently upgraded my Cnews installation to Performance Cnews so that
I could nfs mount the software and news spool and thus easily support
multiple machines without the need for logins (because of the rsh required
by earlier versions of Cnews).  Now that things are working again, I'm finally
trying to mount the news software and spool on another machine.  Everything 
(including posting) seems to work.  The only problem is that postnews on the 
machine that NFS mounts stuff gives:

	% postnews
	Newsgroup(s)? ru.test
	Subject: test
	Posting...
	Where are you?

My question is, where is the "Where are you?" coming from?  I've greped
through the binaries for sh, csh, perl and all of the news sources (even
the nntp stuff though that shouldn't matter) and have not found this string.  
I'm running on Sun 4's under SunOS 4.1.1 on the exporting machine and
SunOS 4.1.2 on the mounting machine.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...
