Subject: one bug and one question for rn
Organization: Mt. Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 92 23:34:30 GMT


Ok, the bug first: When at the group level ("n unread articles in ...")
and I use P to move back to some groups, at some later stage rn will go
into a psychotic state, where it will go to some group I read much earlier
(may be the first subscribed group in my .newsrc) and will not go away from
it using n/N,P,q. I can "g other.group" but eventually I end up stuck at
some newsgroup again. Quitting and restarting fixes it. Anybody else
seen this ?

Now the easy question (I hope :-) ): The rn man page refers to the
environment variable SUBJLINE which allows one to customise the subject lines
of articles displayed with '='. I would like to have (i) the subject (re:'s and
all), the Posters internet address and the number of lines in the article.
Hence I set (in RNINIT) SUBJLINE = "%S    %t   %[Lines]". This comes very close
to what I want - but not quite, hence the question :-).
(a) %S strips the first Re:, %s strips all re:'s. I don't want them stripped
as it becomes difficult to find the first article in a thread. I often
do a /re:/j just to clear out the noise :-)
(b) The subject line (and poster's address) are of variable length, often
very long. Thus the three columns vary across the screen, making it difficult
to follow. I'd like to strip the subject down to just the first 40 letters, 
the name to 20 letters (say) and make this fixed. I can't find anything
in the rn man page which describes how to do this. Can it be done ????

Any help GREATLY appreciated.

Cheers,
	Markus

It compiled fine here under 4.1.2.  It's up for anonymous ftp on
ftp.uu.net, in news/readers/nn, with all the official patches.

There are a few unofficial patches as well; see the news.software.nn
FAQ, which is on rtfm.mit.edu in pub/usenet/news.software.nn.

NewsWatcher is available via anonymous ftp to ftp.acns.nwu.edu, directory
pub/newswatcher. It's under development - the current version 1.3d4,
although usable and used by quite a few people, is not yet a finished
product. There are several docs which describe what we're up to. You should
get those too and read read them.

What I look for in computer manuals is lots of detail! I dislike
"overviews" that leave me wanting more (sort of like nouvelle
cuisine). Interestingly, O'Reilly's book on Gnu Emacs is crammed
with good stuff and should be a model for you (IMHO).

As for trn, tin, etc., at least have a couple of paragraphs on each
as pointers for the reader. Perhaps in a table, with key features
listed.

Many of your readers will be picking up your book to find out something
the man pages don't say about some new editor or newsreader they've
started to use....if they see absolutely no mention of trn, or elm,
or mush, or tin, or whatever, they'll choose another book.

I did this recently with "Zen ... Internet" (first edition, at my local
university library). It just skipped over the stuff I was interested in, 
so back on the shelf it went. (I was hoping the 2nd ed. would be longer,
juicier, more encyclopedic, but from the recent posting by the author, 
I guess not.)

If it's not too late for your current book, I say "the longer the better."

Good luck!

  I didn't make myself clear.  I'm asking for a table similar to this

  Such a table allows a novice to see the features of various (Unix)

I don't exactly understand what you mean by attributes on the date & article
subject. Please specify what you want (here or in direct mail).

The attributes that will be settable in PL5 on a per group basis will be:
  newsgroup=comp.sources.x
  savedir=/usr/iain/News/source/x
  maildir=/usr/iain/Mail/source/x
  sigfile=/usr/iain/.silly_sig
  show_only_unread=ON
  thread_arts=ON
  sort_art_type=5
  show_author=2
  auto_save=ON
  post_proc_type=4

All attributes will be stored in the file ~/.tin/attributes. In PL5 the user
will have to edit the file directly (yuk!). In a later version I will add a
'M' style menu at group index & article viewer level to set the attributes.

: Also, starting with PL1, I have used '*' to denote unread articles at the

Possible characters to be setttable are:
  '*' - hot article
  '+' - unread article
  '-' - mark to return to later 

Do you want all 3 to be settable from the tinrc file?

Organization: Edmonton, Alberta

X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4

The 'K' key seems to be broken when reading a group. It's supposed to mark
all messages of the current thread as read and move the cursor to the next
unread thread. The behaviour has changed to just move the cursor down one
thread.

I hope it's not because the definition has changed. If it has, how does
one move the cursor to the next unread thread (not next unread article!) ?

Here's a semi-hokey patch.

No it isn't. Other people have also asked for this function to be added to tin.

Now you have a small problem in that in v1.1 PL5 I have already decided to use 
'C' for catchup current group and goto next unread group without returning to 
group selection level (very fast way of reading ones news).

Has anyway a specific key that they wish to have this function bound to before
I go ahead and select one myself?
 
By the way try configuring tin so that your From: address can be replied to.
Try adding -DNNTP_INEWS_GATEWAY=\"ftcollins.ncr.com\" to CFLAGS in Makefile
and recompile tin. You will then get 'From: beaty@ftcollins.ncr.com'.

I have built xrn 6.17 for sparc's running SunOS 4.1.1 many time without
problems and so I am surprised to see you have problems. cos, pow and
floor should be in libm i.e. include -lm on your linking line. The
other is in the OW3.0 libXmu. I am not really sure why you need them if
you are linking xrn against X11R5 libraries. xrn doesn't use cos, pow
or floor, my only thought is that printf or scanf call them up and
X11R5 doesn't use get_wmShellWidgetClass. Anyway good luck.

Yes, although in my case I kept getting a "caught signal 11" error when
I switched from article read mode to newsgroup mode 3 times.

There is a symbol definition in config.h that has a comment reading
something like "uncomment this if you see unable to translate null table
errors". It was uncommented. The solution, for me, was to remove the
definition and rebuild the program.

Does anybody know of MSDOS NNTP-based news readers that can use FTP's PC/TCP

From a posting from last February.  I have no idea why there has not
been a patch4 to "offically" fix this problem.

There was one very important line that was omitted from my recent fixes
to trn (I'm not sure if I failed to send it to Stan or if he missed it
when applying my patches -- it doesn't really matter).  The fix is to
set the default direction for most commands to forward motion.  Also
included is a freebie fix from a not-yet-released trn patch that fixes
a 'g' to an unsubscribed group after using 'N' in response to an add-group
prompt:

  		switch (*buf) {
  		case 'P':		/* goto previous newsgroup */
  		    special = TRUE;	/* don't skip it if toread==0 */
