- Is there something wrong w/ the nn.tar.za? files in raven? Iftp'd
- them, using binary transfer, and cat'd then attempted uncompress.
- It dumps core, creating a partial nn.tar. ustar on that will give a
- partial table of contents or start an extract, but only extract a
- few files then stop. Also, there are not as many files in nn on
- raven as on mwcbbs. Are some missing, perhaps? Could someone check,
- and if needed correct this?
-
- I tried getting these from mwcbbs, but kept losing packets. sigh...
-
- On another matter, I am still trying to make wnews work. I earlier
- posted my sys and active files. All owner, group, and permissions
- I've checked. Running pnews gives-
-
- posting article....
- could not execute /usr/lib/news/inews
- article has been posted
-
- except the article is not posted, either. Someone, pls help. If I
- can get wnews working then I can begin the struggle w/ a
- newsreader, if I can get a complete file. sigh....
-
- Timothy.
