- Hi folks!
-
- I grapped UUPC 1.11q and SNEWS/2 2.0 from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu a while ago.
- So far I have managed to set up UUPC. It is the new SNEWS which
- makes me wonder....
-
- Every time I try to 'addgroup xxx' I get the following message:
-
- ADDGROUP: (SNEWS /2 2.0)
-
- Couldn't read rc info
-
- What's wrong with this? Addgroup will create the file 'active' to d:\news
- and it creates the directory d:\news\newsbase, and it creates all
- the normal files there, including '00000000' and '00000000.idx'.
-
- I've mangled through all the documentation -- no help. Are there some
- compatibility problems or something I should know?
-
- I've tried to ftp a newer 1.11t of UUPC from sun.soe.clarkson.edu, but
- for some unknown reason I always got bad files. (I tried 4 different
- times during two weeks about a month ago.) Version 1.11q I got
- from there was all OK.
-
- ***** Could someone who has set up a _working_ UUPC + SNEWS please
- mail or post any info -- THANK YOU! *****
