- You should ask such a question in 'comp.bbs.waffle'. There are a lot
- more Waffle user than in this group.
-
- Now to your problem:
-
- If you post a news there will be an entry in the spool directory
- 'COMPRESS', 'COMP12' or 'COMP16' (whatever you are using). To send your
- news to your neighbours you have to run the programm 'BATCH.EXE'. This
- programm will batch the news of your site to your neighbours site.
- If you already run 'BATCH.EXE' you have to check your
- '/waffle/system/feeds' file. Did you enter all newsgroups that you will
- feed to your neighbour in this file? You have to enter 'comp.*' to spool
- all 'comp' groups to your neighbour.
-
- I hope this will help you!
