To get a list of subject lines of _all_ available postings - do this:

grep "^Subject: " /var/spool/news/news/answers/* > subjects

This will extract all subject from all postings in the newsgroup "news.answers".
The path "/var/spool/news" may be different on your system, so substitute
the appropriate path.

I was trying to use the Gulam shell, switched over to the HUSH shell, and 
at least got sed to run. It just ended up copying the active file anyway.

I presume the active file is supposed to end up looking like a '.newsrc'
file?

Can you post part of your active so I can see what the format is supposed to
be?

Or how about posting your active and /.nn/master (uuencoded if it's binary)
and I'll set my system up the same way for testing.

How do you get the /.nn/master file created? If I can at least get that file
created and get to the point you're at, maybe I can discover something that
will help us both.

Like I said, if I can even set my system up to the point you're at, I might be

Subject: Strange problem with nn

Hi,

i'm using nn 6.4.16. From time to time i have a strange effect:
Articles in various groups are marked as read in the .newsrc file
without i have ever seen any of them.

When i discovered this, i decremented the last article number in
the .newsrc and then entered the group by normally calling nn without
any option. No article was showed up, but the number in the .newsrc
was incremented!

If i did the same, but entered the group with the -g option,
the articles were shown. I unsubscribed the group.
After this i called nn the normal way, jumped to the
group and resubscribed it. Now everything is o.k. again.

My init file is very short, i have only auto-junk-seen set.

Now, does anybody know what's the reason for this behaviour?
Is it a bug?

Thanks in advance,      Joerg

Perhaps someone here could help me out with a little problem - When I run
nnadmin =EYW like the manual says to do after running regular cnews expire,
nn forgets that there are any messages AT ALL.

I've looked into the directory /usr/spool/news/nn/DATA/*, and in each, before
the expire, there are 200 files, and some of them have stuff in them.  After
the expire, the files are still there, but all of them are zero lenghth.  If
I do nothing, and new articles arrive, the system will collect them normally,
but all the older still-existing messages are inaccessable from nn.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Possibly because you don't have write permission in the directory
that NN is using for the .param file (can't recall offhand what
it is), or there is a .param file there already that you don't
have write permission for?

Just a quick guess.

One command I tried reported all the groups as BLOCKED, even though I

is working on the database, but it wasn't even running. Is there a way 
to unblock the groups? I thought of trying to figure out which bit in
the field indicated the group was blocked, but that seems a rather kludgy

	Maybe nn only works under MiNT. Have to go looking for MiNT traps, I

I have one solution:

Save all the articles of the newsgroup in question to a file called, say,
nn.file.  Then leave nn and run the following command:

grep "^Subject: " < nn.file > subjects

Then blow away the nn.file.  The file 'subjects' will then contain all
the subjects from the articles you saved.  You can then use sort -u and
other tools to shave the file down.  If you don't have enough room in your
home directory for nn.file, then try using the /tmp directory.

Hope this helps...

Subject: Changing PHEAA's Policy to a 5-year Program
Date: 22 Aug 92 19:09:11 GMT
Distribution: pa
Organization: Drexel University


To all college and college-bound students:


  PHEAA has a grant program that only provides funds for 4 years.  Many
schools with 5-year programs are filled with students who are suffering
because of that!   I am trying to start a letter campaign to force
the state legislature to PHEAA to grant the same monetary amount of grants
OVER A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD!  

 I WOULD ADVISE ALL PENNSYLVANIA STUDENTS TO
WRITE THEIR CONGRESSMEN, IN EFFECT TO CHANGE PHEAA'S POLICY!!



   I am a Drexel University student, going into my senior year.  The 
biggest problem I'm facing right now is obtaining the funds to continue
my education.

   Another complaint is this regulation where PHEAA can only grant funds
for the first 4 years.  Drexel University is a 5-year college.  How are
Drexel students going to feel when they reach their senior year?  What
really upsets me is that 4 years ago, I had absolutely no idea that this
was going to come!  Is someone going to tell the incoming freshmen and
unaware upperclassmen--or are they going to get stabbed in the back at 
the last minute!  Of course, maybe if you tell the incoming freshmen and
transfer students that, some of them may decide to go to another school!
What the state legislature should do is to change the policy to ALLOW 
PHEAA to spread its maximum aid--over a 5-year period!  PHEAA should be
aware that by following this procedure, they will be SAVING money per
year.  The whole purpose of PHEAA was to provide funds for students to
help them through college (from freshman year to graduation)--NOT take
students three-quarters of the way and ABANDON them!  If students don't
get their degrees, then they can't get good-paying jobs.  Hence, employers
suffer because of the lack of qualified people for jobs.  Remember, it's
not just Drexel--some other colleges offer 5-year program and most
students (nowadays) are spending 4 1/2 to 5 years in college, instead of
4 years.  I WOULD ADVISE ALL PENNSYLVANIA STUDENTS TO
WRITE THEIR CONGRESSMEN, IN EFFECT TO CHANGE PHEAA'S POLICY!!
