- I had a hell of a time making ARN realise that I had news in the
- directories.
-
- It turns out that there is one huge hurdle, and two minor ones.
-
- First, the biggie: If you are running >1.15D, then .arnmasterrc
- INSISTS that you use the DOTDIRS parameter
-
- Here is my .arnmasterrc file
-
- ACTIVEFILE UULIB:active
- UPDATEACTIVE Yes
- ARNMASTERLOG T:logfile
- COUNTLINES NO
- #Uncomment DOTDIRS for Dillons AmigaUUCP <=V1.15 (obsolete!)
- DOTDIRS Yes
- NEWSDIR UUNEWS:
- #Set DBASEDIR if you want to store databases not in NEWSDIR
- #DBASEDIR T:NewsDBASE
-
- > Both .arnrc and .arnmasterrc have the DOTDIRS command removed so ARn
-
- Which is most likely your problem.
-
- The other problems I had was that I wasn't able to read news
- because of the .grouplist file [GROUPLIST in .arnrc] wasn't
- recognised.
-
- Fiddling with the DOTDIRS parameter made things work better.
-
- I'm just getting used to this new ARN, and it is somewhat of an
- improvement on the 0.64 version I was running for two years, but
- it has some very annoying quirks. I'll tell Roland about it.
