- I have been trying in vain to install the installable version of
- wnews on my Coherent machine. I am not a seasones Unix user or even a C
- programmer, so I understand I may have some problems fiddling with this,
- but would appreciate any suggestions.
-
- Durring the install program, I get to the point of putting in the machine
- name and site for news feed -- all is going fine -- then the install
- shell attempts to unbatch the sample news programs and cannot do it right.
- Might I have an incorrect setup on compress() or something?
-
- Compress and uncompress seem to work ok on other programs , but I have no
- way to verify the operation with the newsreader. Also, do I have to put
- /usr/spool/news into the Permissions file for the feeding site? I did not
- see anything about this in the DOCS??
-
- Thanks -
- Van!!
