This came about because I started doing some serious hacking to the system and came to realize that the old Makefile lost very badly with lint and sccs. The new one takes care of that and also supports the new C postnews (as pn.c and pn), Peter Gross's batching software (bnproc) instead of batch and unbatch, and other assorted niceties. It's been beaten on pretty well but it probably isn't perfect. Comments and improvements are welcome. This should help those people who were trying to get vnews up from my latest postings as well. I've been cleaning up inews significantly recently. The lint listing has dropped from 25K to about 13K and most of what is left could most likely be ignored. I'm also in the process of integrating bnproc into inews because the bnproc -> inews interface is horribly inefficient [as it stands bnproc spawns TWO processes for each message and rnews writes each message to disk TWICE. My hopes is to get this to NO extra processes and a single write). I've also found pieces of dead code throughout inews that I'm trying to exorcise. When I'm done and it works as reliably as inews does now I'll post it to the net. chuq -- >From the ledge of the seventh cornice: Chuq Von Rospach {amd70,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4}!nsc!chuqui (408) 733-2600 x242 If you let a smile be your umbrella you will get rain up your nose.
