I'm creating a Fidonet-Usenet gateway, and have been working on the
Fidonet -> Usenet side and ran across this problem... (after discovering
the "blank line" problem in EMail and blaming MY software... thought I'd
pop this on the net..)

When performing the following operation -

   rnews c:file.tst

with all proper headers, etc, AND cr/lf messy-dos formatted lines, rnews
complains about a truncated batch.  Also, once it posts it, the posted
message has an "echo" at the bottom of varying length, as though the
buffer was not being flushed properly.

Converting the text file from cr/lf-termination to lf-termination
solved the problem.  Also, the docs claim that

   rnews -v

doesn't do anything useful... NOT SO!  Was very interesting.

I couldn't find any description of the "#! rnews xxxx" or the
"#! cunbatch" header stuff.... any docs on this stuff out there?

As a note -- the gateway is nearly DONE DONE DONE..!  Have to make sure
I check everything out first.

Not related to restrictions of JOIN files, but does someone have

Then you intalled Waffle wrong.  Maybe the static file is still pointing
at the old Waffle directory?

If you really installed from scratch, then there would be no mention of LIST
in the admin menu.

It would be easier to help if we get more information. How much memory
do you have free when DIRSCAN is started? How does your CONFIG.SYS and
your AUTOEXEC.BAT look like? How did you try to start DIRSCAN? How does
your USENET file look like? How does your STATIC file look like?

Subject: WAFFLE's IO redirection in SHELL & DSZ
Date: 16 Aug 92 00:25:29 +0200
Organization: TU-Delft, dpt of Electrical Engineering


I recently posted a message here (that by the way remained unanswered) about
DSZ not working in a shell...

Let me be more specific:

Using a REAL shell works fine... (ALT-J at the console when a user is online),
but shelling to the two-way-redirected waffle-shell will disable all
functionality of DSZ. (howeverm downloading with Xmodem and Ymodem works...)

Later I defined an external command (DSZ) in the extern-directory with a line
like this:

/priv=9 /local /shell /command="DSZ %i"

and this works fine... It seems that waffle's IO redirection messes up the
strings and data sent by DSZ !

I tried to define the shell command in the _system file in the ~\extern
directtory also als local or shell, but again, it did not work.. Somehow waffle
won't let go of his own (terrible) IO-redirection (rather: splitting).

Can I force this ? I know that running the DSZ command from te dos-shell in
waffle is possible... I;ve seen it done... What's wrong at our system ? What
can I do to fix it ? 

TIA,

Michel.

"Captive mode" is when you use "waffle online" to start up the session.
I'm not totally sure what the reasoning is, but a comment in login.c says:

I am new to this and ran into the following problem. A friend gave me a 
copy of his BBS, but I noticed that I couldn't use the internal commands 
of validate and admin, since I am considering opening it up to the 
public, that is absolutely necessary. I was given a copy of what says 
1.65 and I installed it. Everything appears to be working except for mail 
tossing. 
I poll the school and pick up my mail (I do not receive any newsgroups at 
this time, only personal mail) and I see the mail decompress, however, it 
goes into my personal file and created a a file called mailbox.F and one 
called mailbox.I. The mail goes into mailbox.F and all subsequent mail 
appends itself to this file. 
The mail used to unpack and form individual messages such as murray.1, 
murray.2, and so on. Now all I have is this ever growing file. I have 
read all the docs and simply am at a loss.
All assistance will be gratefully accepted.

The doggies have grown a lot in the last two years.  Maybe you ought to give it
a shot.  There might even be a decent fido <-> uucp gateway out there

I was getting the same messages during my testing of my Fidonet-Usenet
gateway.  After generating messages to port, rnews complained about truncated
batch, and also "echoed" the last read data from the file again.

After some investigation, I determined that the problem was that I was
generating files with CRLF pairs instead of the UNIX-style LF terminators.
After fixing my software to generate LFs, this problem went away.

Moral: ask your host to use LF-terminated lines, not CRLF-lines and
send a bug report to Tom. ("YO! TOM!"  :-)

prompts and messages (eg accented letters)?  Does that cause any
problems?  What about extended ascii in local mail and local

So load ANSI.SYS and don't put "video:ansi" in the static file.  That'll
fuck Waffle up royally.  [No; there isn't any "real" way to turn of the
status line.  Why don't you like it?  Do you want it to go away while you're
using Waffle itself, or while you're running external programs?  If the latter,
use /screen on your extern command lines.]

Does anybody know how to run NN (a newsreader) or Pine, a mailer, under
Unix. The key problem is that is you simply reference these programs as
an external program, all the mail and posts come from the account I'm running
Waffle under and not from the individual user accounts (which don't exist
from the viewpoint of Unix.

What I'd like to have happen is for both programs to pick up the mailsig
in each users' subdirectory and keep a separate set of high message numbers
in each user subdirectory as well and show the mail as coming from the "true"
user.

We're currently on 1.64 and have just received 1.65

Keywords: Terminal Settings, Mail Problem

   Hello there,
         I just recieved waffle 165, and have it up and running on a 
Unix System V Rel 3.2 on a 3B2/400 Unix system.  I am however having
two problems...

=========== Problem #1, Terminal Settings Problem ===============

  I have a bbs account with has /usr/lib/waffle/bin/waffle as the shell.

  When a user logs in as bbs, waffle comes up, and works great.  In the
STATUS I set the terminal type to vt100, and set the editor to /usr/bin/vi
and everything seems happy.

  The more prompts start coming up in INVERSE (showing waffle knows how to use
the vt100 quite happily).  Having set the extern editors file so that waffle can
find the /usr/bin/vi file, when I go to post, vi comes up (as it should), as
follows:

1:56a (?=help!) -> post

Subject: test
I don't know what kind of terminal you are on - all I have is 'unknown'.
[Using open mode]
"/usr/lib/waffle/user/system/_edit" [New file]

   Which is not exactly how I would like vi to work.  It would appear that
it is not setting the TERM variable, exporting it, and then using "tput init"
to initialize the terminal setting.

   Is there a proper "fix" or should I make a shell program which does the
TERM= and tput init, or should I hack the waffle source to get it to work.
Anyone have any better ideas???

===================== #2 Problem  MAILING to system users ==================

   I have smail3.1 running, and I can send mail off the site, no problems!
As well, systems OFF the site can send messages back into waffle NO PROBLEM.
(I am using method #1 - MAIL ALIASES as described in /docs/unix.doc)

   The problem shows up then a waffle user tried to send a mail message
to a user who is ON THE SITE, and without a WAFFLE account.

eg: user X who has shell access, but does not have a waffle account.
    user Y who is logged in waffle.

When I try to send mail to user X this is what I get...

2:05a (?=help!) -> mail

No Mail.
Send MAIL to: guest

No such user: guest

Send MAIL to:

  Now guest DOES exist...  In the /etc/passwd file we find...
guest:x:104:1:Guest User of Hakatac:/usr/acct/other/guest:/bin/ksh

  Guest however currently is not a user of waffle...

Again, all mail off site works great... Smail aliases are working great,
what am I missing here...

Thanks....

Instead of putting forums info in /waffle/words, use an extern
that redirects the user to help forums, i.e.

/waffle/extern/groups:
	/waffle /command="help forums"

and as for updating /waffle/system/usenet and /waffle/help/forums at
the same time...use a windowing editor :-)

Gary, did you mention using an ANSI driver of some kind?  If so, that's
the whole problem in a nutshell.  Waffle simply doesn't get along with
ANSI screen drivers very well.  You might have better success with using
ANSI.COM and activating it only during the usage of BBStevie locally.

One of my neighbors is having similar problems with BBStevie, so I'm
looking into the possibility of installing FOSSIL support.  But what
with moving at the end of this month, it may be a while before I can get
that to the top of my queue.

Hi Steve,

  I mentioned this to my feed and he said it might have something to
do with space problems, but I haven't heard anything else.  I'll query
him again and see what he has to say.  They don't seem to happen with
any noticable frequency and I have only had one since I posted the
original message.

  Frusterating as I think that I miss responses to questions I have
posted.  At any rate, I'll let you know what I find out.

Take care, Vikki.
