We're running News2.11 under EUNICE BSD 4.3.2. I hacked together a version
for EUNICE BSD 4.3.2 based on the News2.11 that appeared on the 1988
USENIX tapes. It has problems:
- RNEWS/INEWS are unable to properly handle batched articles themselves--
they usually end up trashing the ACTIVE file with contents of articles.
- RNEWS/INEWS don't correctly spool articles when EXPIRE is running.
- The MORE interface in the news reader is flakey enough (due to pipes)
that I had to throw out the use of MORE, and write a trivial pager
within READNEWS.
Has anyone done a more complete-and-robust implementation of News2.11 for
EUNICE BSD 4.3.2?
Thanx in advance
