[followups to news.software.nn]

Hmmm.  Having a bit of a problem compiling NN.

Configuration:

	SCO Unix 3.2.4 and
	Development System 3.2.4s.
	#include "s-scoV386.h" 	<--- from config.h
	#include "m-i80386.h"	<--- from config.h
	NN Version 6.4 PL 16

The problem has occured in one other location (variable.c), but I was able
to code around it (was a different circumstance).  When compiling using
cc, I get the following errors:

regexp.c
Compiler error (assertion): file @(#)expandMD.c:1.14, line 1019 source=681
Compiler error (assertion): file @(#)expand.c:1.13, line 271 source=681
Compiler error (assertion): file @(#)csize.c:1.44, line 643 source=681

The module effected is below:

/* located in file regexp.c */

/*
 - regtail - set the next-pointer at the end of a node chain
 */
static void regtail(p, val)
char           *p;
char           *val;
{
    register char  *scan; 
    register char  *temp;
    register int    offset;

    if (p == &regdummy)
	return;

    /* Find last node. */
    scan = p;
    for (;;) {
	temp = regnext(scan);
	if (temp == NULL)
	    break;
	scan = temp;
    }

    if (OP(scan) == BACK)
	offset = scan - val;
    else
	offset = val - scan;
    *(scan + 1) = (offset >> 8) & 0377;    <- this is the offending line
    *(scan + 2) = offset & 0377;
}

Take out the  >> 8  and all is well.

I can't seem to figure out how to get around this problem.  Is there
a switch for the cc compiler that might change its behaviour so 
that it can compile it correctly?

Cnews, Elm and others compiled and ran with few warnings.  

Same exact settings and source code compiles without any problems with
SCO Unix 3.2.2, Dev system 3.2.??  (Not 4)

Any ideas??

the answer is....   Change the CFLAGS in the Makefile from:

	CFLAGS= -Ox -M3e
to
	CFLAGS= -Octlig -M3e

Twas an optimization bug problem...

The following does what you want.  Thanks to the original contributor,
whose name has long since disappeared from my init file comments...

# _ does search on sender (as = does a search on subject)
map menu _ (
	:set select-on-sender

I can't help you so instead I will ask a question: why do you
want to sort on arrival? The order in which articles arrive is
not the same order as they are written - it's quite commen that
a followup arrives before the original article. Sorting on
arrival will IMHO not help you to make sense of a conversation
thread. But I could be wrong.

Subject: nnmaster dying due to NNTP bug: solution
Organization: Sierra Geophysics Inc.,  Kirkland, Wa
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 1992 21:45:46 GMT

We run a site with 1 GB for news, and the news partition(s) are filling
up. Recently nnmaster was dying for no apparent reason with "No such
file or directory" in the log file.

Turned out that the 'junk' directory had 4622 entries, which caused the
NNTP daemon to crash & dump core. nnmaster interepreted this incorrectly
and died. (I don't know if there's a way to interpret it correctly or
not).

Anyhow, the solution was to change the nnmaster entry in the init script
to

	nnmaster -l -r -C !junk ""

And to ask the news admin to clean up the directory.

Thought somebody else might be experiencing this; it was puzzling for a
couple of days.

Is it possible with this init file or anothor to have "cron" execute
"nn" without the following complaint from "nn" and with successful
completion: "Input is not a tty". 

If so how and if not then is there another way of having news articles
mailed to a user, based on news group, topic, and whether the article
has been read or not, using "cron"?

Thanks in advance.

I would like to leave nn running in a window of its own.
(Thanks,  vtwm! :-) The problem is: Does nn periodically re-query
the server for new articles?  If not, is there a way it can be
told to do so, or at least a way to ask it to rescan using some
command? (like the xrn `rescan' button). Email would be nice.

Note: The above only affects the way articles are displayed on the

OK.  Then make it "sort on date (written) within subject."  The issue
is the same.

Quoting again:
 Yearly subscribers receive 12 months of USENET news on CD-ROM and they
 also receive the yearly NetGems special issue.  The current NetGems CD-ROM
 contains the X Window System Version 11 Release 5 sources, the Free Software 
 Foundation's GNU software as well as the USENET comp.sources.* archives.  
 It also contains alt.sources and vmsnet.sources archives.  Besides those 
 archives, NetGems also contains an archive of the Request For Comments 
 (RFCs) available from the NIC which are the basis for most of the existing 
 Internet protocols.  The software and RFCs on the NetGems CD were gathered 
 on December 29, 1991.

In other words, the same kind of stuff that's on the SUG-CD and the like.

You can read "GUIDELINES FOR USENET GROUP CREATION", periodically
posted in news.newusers.questions (I'm sending you a copy now) if 
the group will be widely-distributed, or
simply contact your local news manager to create a local newsgroup
on such topic.

I'm looking for a package that will read newsgroups, mail me new
articles and update my ~/.newsrc file based on what was sent. Is there
such a beast available?

Thanks...

Can someone tell the name and phone number of the company that is
offering usenet news articles on a CD on a subscription basis?  I read
about in one of the (many) mags I get (or maybe someone elses:) but
can not seem to find it again.  If anyone is currently subscribing to
this service, I would appreciate any info you might have as to how it
works or how valuable you feel it is.  We were thinking if it is not
too expensive we might subscribe to it and get just a few groups.

Thanks

The flow data collected at decwrl shows the path that each article took
to reach its destination. By combining this data and merging by host,
we can compute the "influence" of each site. The "influence" of a site is a
measure of how much news it carries for other places. Influence is measured
in percent. An influence rating of, say, 21%, means that 21% of all stored
news articles, worldwide, have passed through that site on the way to their
final destination.

Here are the top 1000 sites on USENET for AUG 92, ranked by influence,
in percent:
