Anyone else have this problem? > Bill Shannon I, too found the exact same problem on a VAX running SysVr2 and my 3b2. Seems the patch makes those two variables extern with no other declaration. I temporarily removed the extern's and all seems to be fixed with that. However, there is another rather large problem. inews.c now has a patch to make sure that rnews -U does not run while expire is running. However, rnews -U does not work at all, now. A friend looked at the code, and temporarily had me do a "rnews -S -U" instead and also patch expire.c to use the same string. Seems the #ifdefs are messed up in inews.c. Was patch#2 tested on a SysV system with SPOOLNEWS defined? .. that's the biz, sweetheart... Randy Suess chinet - Public Access UN*X (312) 545 7535 (h) (312) 283 0559 (system) ..!ihnp4!chinet!randy
