We installed the Xref: patch and all other fixes. We then moved to 2.10.2 (without re-running the Configure file in rn), made the changes to inews, recompiled rn and we were still getting those messages in multiple newsgroups. I thought there was a problem with the Xref: patch in either rn or inews, but the problem really was that when you run the Configure shell script, rn figures out whether you're running 2.10.2 or not (by looking if /usr/lib/news/inews exists). Since we moved to 2.10.2, but never re-run Configure, rn thought we were still running 2.10.1. I run Configure again, recompiled rn and the problem dissapeared. -- Eduardo Krell UCLA Computer Science Department ekrell@ucla-locus.arpa ..!{sdcrdcf,ihnp4,trwspp,ucbvax}!ucla-cs!ekrell
