- That's funny. I'm running CNews here under AmigaUUCP and I can read
- news just fine with the binary Amiga port of TIN. In fact I've been
- working on getting it to run under AXsh as well. There are a few
- problems passing variables between shells and stack size but it seems to
- work.
-
- If I just wanted to use it as a local newsreader it would work fine. In
- fact I'll fire it up after this and post from TIN...
-
- I may be mistaken but in the UULIB:Config file you can specify what you
- want to run as postnews and rnews. I only changed the Rnews to point to
- the CNews version of Rnews and it works fine. I believe you can change
- postnews to run relaynews instead in the same way. If it is hard coded,
- then all I can say is that you may just have to rename relaynews to
- postnews and put it in UUCP:c..that will work I suppose.
