-
- I had problems with the functions in libndir when building rn. In a
- newsgroup with messages missing, rn would hit the gap and skip to the end of
- the newsgroup. This problem is not apparent when using rn's internal ndir
- functions (in ndir.c). I mentioned this in passing to Don Stokes and he said
- it was due to some bugs in some of the libndir functions.
-
- I've got to recompile rn due to a header creation bug, so now I've got 4.0
- I'll try using the libndir functions in libc.a and see if problems re-occur.
