- If you think additional problems should be listed in this file, please contact
- the authors, or send mail to "grnbugs" from within GRn.
-
- 1) "I can't get GRn to execute SendMail or PostNews".
-
- Well, the most likely cause is that you are a Workbench user, and that
- you are not executing GRn from the same directory where SendMail and
- PostNews exist. Since the Workbench does not understand a CLI "path"
- on 2.04, GRn cannot find the appropriate programs to execute.
-
- There are two solutions:
-
- 1) Put GRn in the same directory with the other programs (normally
- uucp:c).
-
- 2) Explicitly name the full pathnames to the programs in your
- uulib:config file.
-
- If you get this problem as a CLI user, then you probably haven't put
- uucp:c in your path. You have the same two options as above, as well
- as:
-
- 3) Set the environment variables SENDMAIL and POSTNEWS to point
- to the full pathnames of the programs in your uulib:config
- file.
-
- 2) "GRn doesn't open on my custom/public/whatever screen"
-
- As a CLI user, right now you don't have a choice but to have GRn open its
- own screen. This will be fixed in the future.
-
- As a Workbench user, you simply need to edit the tooltypes in GRn's icon
- (grn.info) to set LEFT, TOP, HEIGHT, and WIDTH. Then, GRn will use your
- existing screen UNLESS GRN WILL NOT FIT. GRn requires a minimum screen
- size of 600x400.
-
- 3) "GRn doesn't use my custom font"
-
- As a CLI user, right now GRn will use his custom grn.font. If it isn't
- present, GRn will not run. You will be given an option in the future.
-
- As a Workbench user, you simple need to edit the tooltypes in GRn's icon
- (grn.info) to set MSGFONT and MSGFONTSIZE. The MSGFONT must be in the
- "anyfont.font" style, or GRn will fail.
-
- 4) "GRn doesn't scroll properly with my custom font"
-
- Well, I thought I fixed this problem. Maybe not. Send me your font, and
- I'll try to fix the problem.
-
- 5) "When I change the SORT on a Newsgroup, I seem to lose articles"
-
- I do too. It's a bug, I'll try to fix it for the next release.
-
- 6) "GRn doesn't use my custom font in the gadgets"
-
- True. It's a pretty big bother to have variable sized gadgets. At this
- time, I've decided against them. If enough people ask for them, I can
- probably be convinced to change my mind.
-
- 7) "How do I use GRn with C-News?"
-
- Use environment variables:
-
- USERNAME - the name (login id) of the user running GRn
- NEWSEDITOR - the program to run to Edit outgoing News
- MAILEDITOR - the program to run to Edit outgoing Mail
- SENDMAIL - the program that submits Mail to UUCP
- POSTNEWS - the program that submits News to UUCP
- REALNAME - used by SENDMAIL and POSTNEWS (not by GRn directly)
-
- You STILL must have a directory named UUNEWS:, which is the directory
- where the top-level news directories exists. You must also have a UULIB:
- directory that contains signature files, etc. It may contain a file
- named CONFIG that contains standard AmigaUUCP configuration information.
- GRn will use those redirections, if they exist, for UULIB and UUNEWS.
