- I plan to add this information if I post the list again. And yes it
- is from SLS, from 0.98, those programs listed did not work under 0.99.

- If you don't you have to hack around the source code of normally
- working programs, with 4.2, you can leave things alone...great for us that
- just want to get the usenet feed going again with playing around with
- sigaction calls etc... lazy way out...but quick

- Good point...but a few people posted they tried to upgrade to 4.2 and
- killed their link, which killed their system. That paragraph was intended
- to help those people.
-
-
- The entire purpose of the list was to reduce the amount of traffic with
- questions about uucp, cnews, sed...etc...with 0.99....as it was getting
- ridiculous.
-
- That sed problem was a toughie...drove me nuts till I got it...
-
- Thanks for SLS Peter!
- Keep it up
