- I figured out a few things, but it would seem that no one here cares
- about WAFMAIL.
-
- At any rate:
-
- You cannot use HYPERDSK or SMARTDRV with the original swap routine that
- comes with WAFMAIL. Smartdrv seems to crash leftrightncenter (LRAC?)
- under Waffle/BNU anyway.
-
- To make it work, you must put /s1 in the extern file for wafmail so it
- uses the "alternate" swapper to swap to disk. (I only have a meg total
- on this machine so it cant swap to memory.)
-
- ALSO:
-
- You cannot run WAFMAIL succesfully with a file of the same name of the
- user's id in his home dir. (Ie, if I happened to have a SPOOGE file in
- my home dir, it wont work.)
-
- PROBLEM:
-
- Wafmail wont find news for my users. There's DEFINITELY new news in a
- couple groups and it just totally skips over them when my users run the
- software. When I run it it works, but this is no concellation.
-
- DOES ANYONE USE WAFMAIL AT ALL on here? Seems like suddenly very slow
- traffic in this newsgroup, my feed might be messed up. Damn.
