	Don't think you're right here... BMS Batch will unbatch what it can
of the larger file, but not send a completion message to bms-manager until
the last part has arrived.

Ok, I've moved it to alt.sys.amiga.uucp (I hope :-).

I think my point stands and I don't think you have to wait for a standard to
implement it.  Actually, to tell you the truth, I think the standard already
exists and has been implemented in all the other source groups to one degree
or another.  That is:

1. Postings should be in SHAR format (exception: VMS groups use VMS_SHAR).
2. Binaries should be UUENCODED within the SHAR (exception: BITNET?).
3. Part 1 should have a README in front of it (about a page in length).
4. Each part should be a SHAR in its own right (exception: VMS_SHAR).

Things left out of the standard:

1. If posting an archive, which archiver is standard (ZOO, LHA, ...)?
2. Which SHAR is the standard format (I prefer 3.49+ by Warren Tucker, et.al)?

Hi guys,

Well I've patched that pesky 'node sends confirmation message'
problem, by creating the program NoCFM.  This program is meant
to be run in a batch file and will add a Z line to all D.aaaX*
files in the UUSPOOL: directory, where aaa stands for the node
name. You'll find the program, together with it's man page, in
UUEncoded format in the alt.sys.amiga.uucp.patches group. It's
subject line reads NoCFM v.09 (Part 1/1).  I've tested it with
my hostnode and the messages have stopped. Please feel free to
mail me with comments, bugreports and improvements.

CYa, Paul

    There's a routine in sendmail called TermMailToUUCP() that creates
    the uuspool: files. If you add the line:

        fprintf(fi,"Z\n");

    at line 1126 (just before "fclose(fi);"), that will do the trick.
    Are you sure that Z applies to everyone? If not, it might be
    better to add some file to uulib: that gets automatically appended
    to the D. file, and then the user can put anything they want in
    that file.

    Anyway, if there is some definite "right way" to do this, I can
    add the code, recompile, and post the diff + binary, no problem.

This is know bug with 1.200-c firmware. Upgrades shipping shortly (I' told).
The AT+FAA (adaptive answer mode) when enabled only answers as fax instead
of properly determining what type of connection it is.

Hi.

is there someone out here that knows about a fidonet - uucp gateway ?
Have you already installed it ? Is it Freeware? Shareware ? Commercial ?
Does it work well ?

Thanks for answers.

Since bms-report.rexx just mulls over the output of 'bms status
active', which has the same file list, this won't be an improvement.
I vaguelly recall seeing something that did better logging, but that's
about it.

What you really want is a tool you run once a day or so that checks
for new bms records, and adds them to a log file somewhere, then a
report-generator for that. Appending the output of 'bms status active'
to the log file and tweaking bms-report.rexx to ignore duplicate
records would do the trick, but be grossly inefficient. Doing it
efficiently should be straightforward.

You know that, I know that, he knows that. The only problem is that Minix
doesn't seem to know. :-) But I've solved it the hard way.  Like using an
F16 to swat a fly. I've already created NoCFM that will add a Z (which is
supposed to be the correct parameter) line to all X.* files.  It seems to
do the job, as I no longer get these pesky messages. I'll post NoCFM next
week in .patches, as soon as I've done final testing. :-)

  This is the curious part. The header (in mbox) for a recent message says:
From: bms_err@peeker...
To: ...bms_in
  The body is a uuencoded-like chunk.
  It looks to me like peeker's site is sending me an error message, but
why include a large encoded file? Or alternatively, why would my requested
file originate from bms_err@peeker?
  Only one of the files I requested was >> than about 50k.

  I don't want to belabour the point too much. I'll wait awhile and see what
develops, as you suggest.

uuencode <fromfile filename >tofile

where fromfile is: file to uuencode

      tofile: name of the output.

Eg: "test.lha"

uuencode <test.lha test.lha >test.lha.uu

     AVM stands  for `AmigaVisualMailer' - it's another MailUserAgent (like
AmiELM,  DMail,  AmigaMail,  ...),  but unlike AmiELM (at least the earlier
versions)  or  DMail,  AVM  is  designed  as  an `Intuition-Mailreader': it
basically  uses  Intuition's Windows, Gadgets and all that stuff to let you
read or write your emails.

The shar format works really well when going back and forth between many
different systems. Unfortunately, you have a few problems trying to force
that issue in an Amiga group:

            0) Archives typically are MAINLY binary, instead of
               just occaisionally binary
            1) Amiga programs to do shar are few and far between
            2) See (1) above
            3) The unshar programs that run on the Amiga are not
               capable of handling some shar formats
            4) There is little reason to go to the effort of shar,
               when a split uuencoded lha archive works just fine.
            5) AmigaDOS is NOT Unix
            6) We, just like VMS, can do it "our" way

As far as the "standard" was concerned in earlier discussions, we were
discussing what archive headers should go in the source postings, such
as "Archive-Name:" and "Submitted-By:", not about switching to shar
format.

Now, this may be a "computer religion" issue, but I can assure you, that for
posts to a.s.a.uucp.patches, I'm not switching to shar format without a
very good reason.

    After starting a shell, the script that Getty runs when I log in
    starts a program called "watchcd". This will pause until it
    detects that carrier has been dropped. I also create a flag file
    in uulib:.

    When carrier finally does drop, I check to see if the flag file
    still exists. If it does, that means the user did NOT use the
    normal session termination procedure, so the script assumes the
    worst and reboots the machine. My startup-sequence brings up Getty
    again, ready for the next dialin.

Great! Does the postnews work (set entry %postnews: in /etc/rc.news

Me neither. Well, actually it works with dme, but does not work with any
editor that uses stdio.. In fact I had similar problems with Execute() in
AXsh, but SyncRun() works as expected.

AXsh has its own script 'language' and its own path. However, currently
AXsh don't know how to use internal shell commands like 'path', so you
should have e.g. wb1.3 path command available (and allowed in /etc/rc) or
set the path in the /etc/local-startup file before AXsh is started.

You can also add sendmail to the command list in /etc/rc (with full path).
Unfortunately AXsh does not (yet?) allow input redirection, so you are out
of luck here (?). I am working on this though (I will add a %sendmail:
entry somewhere, so that "internal" will mean normal AXsh routing and
e.g. "UUCP:c/sendmail" uses an external command (just like in /etc/rc.news)).

I've been trying to install CNews for sometime now without much success. I
had it running a few months ago, but after a minor hard disk problem it
won't run any more.

If I try to unbatch the articles by hand this is what happens:

  1.  I can take the compressed articles and uncompress them just fine.

  2.  But, when I try to run "relaynews -r 715166976" it just returns an
      error code of "16". Without any articles being put into their
      directories.

I would love to get it running again.

P.S. - The first time I posted this I forgot to mention what type of
       system I'm running:

    A2000 running 2.04
    3 meg ram soon to be 5
    UUCP 1.15D
