No no, I cant get it from an FTP site. Getting it from a mail server would
be nice, if knew one and the commands to operate it?

Please DON'T post it here - some of us still have 2400 bps feeds
which makes it an even bigger download than from mwcbbs :-)

If I were you I should make it availble from mwcbbs and one of
the FTP sites.

I'd advise against posting it here, binaries posted to discussion groups are
generally not appreciated, especially large ones, and can lead sysadmins to
remove the offending newsgroup from their feed because of the volume, causing
problems for people down the line who want to read it. If you did post it,
you'd find that you'd have to split it into about 20 parts, and then you'd
spend the next two weeks emailing missing parts to people who didn't
receive them.

I'd suggest sending it to the FTP site, which lets people get it by FTP and
email server, and putting it on MWCBBS, which will also place it on the
preferred BBS sites (eventually).

As this is just a beta, you might want to just send it to raven, so that
people who can FTP will be able to review it and give you any feedback on
any necessary bugfixes or changes.

I've found the problem with elm.  It actually isn't elm's fault.
The one variable that had changed that I didn't remember was
that I'd changed my term setting to vt100.  I read another user's
post about how the vt100 termcap was broken so I decided to change
term back to ansipc.  Lo and behold, elm worked flawlessly again.

I'd like to thank all those who offered their help.

Using the BIOS code under Coherent isn't the right way, because
this code isn't reentrant. To access the console from a user
process under Coherent/UNIX a device driver is needed, which
gives you access to the video memory. The device driver kit
for Coherent 3.x comes with such a driver for Herkules, CGA and
ATI video controllers. For 4.0 the driver kit isn't available yet.
Another solution would be to access the video memory through
/dev/mem. But this is very dangerous, because you can damage
the kernel code or kernel data with an programming error!

I assume you mean 'pnews' (lower case p) that comes with wnews, and not
Pnews that comes with rn.....

did you check the permissions on inews? mine are    r-xr-xr-x.

owner and group are set to 'news', same as on other news files...

What Greg suggested was a good way to go, if you suspect your SIMMs or some
timing thing.  I had already eliminated the SIMMs, and simply mucked about
with the system parms (wait states, DMA clock, etc.) until I got a working
combination.  As I said, I had one time gotten it to work.

Seventh time was the charm.  It worked once again, this time with a DOS 5.0
partition as 0, and COH as 1.  I changed things around -before- the install,
since it seemed that changing system parms -after- had no effect on the prob.

Mark Williams, I'll tell you the same thing I told Greg:  I would rather have
slightly lower performance and a solid, works-anywhere system than a finicky
prima donna that runs REAL FAST! ... IF you can get it to run at all!  I have
spent a total of 18 HOURS getting my system into a state which Coherent could
accept as its environment.  Compared to that, installing OS/2 2.0, DOS, and
Windows 3.1 could have -ALL- been done about 6 times over.  I like Coherent
a lot, but if my system ever breaks, I will have to think over this experience
very carefully before deciding to try re-installing it.

I don't can give you my ip address, because my system is running

I'd be willing to help (as time permits) since I now have a mirror

I agree completely.  When I was using Coh3.2, I was using Gnews because
it was easy to install.  On a 486-33mhz machine with a fast disk, it
would churn for almost an hour to process ~1meg of news.  When I got
Wnews working under Coh 4.0 I realized that news systems CAN be quite
speedy.  At first, I thought something was wrong when wnews would
zip through 50-100k of batched news in 5-10 seconds.  I would
think that gnews would be prohibitively slow on a 286 or 386sx
machine.

On the positive side, it was small and simple to hack on and
also rather easy to get running, but for those with Coh4.0,
the combination of wnews and tin blows the gnews package away...
hands down.

Cheers,

Chris

Yes, Waffle for unix is just a bbs front end.

Not really, because having a nice stable restricted BBS environment for users
who can't handle raw Coherent is a good idea.

There's a nice editor called "joe" (Joe's Own Editor) that people
use under Linux. This has WS compatible keystrokes and should
port OK. It should be available from any of the Linux sites.
