Your version of rn is too old. In version 2.10.3, the Relay-Version header was dropped; in the original rn, this header was used to do Xref processing. Now it's done a different way. Get a newer rn (try one of the comp.sources.* archive sites). If anyone has a newer rn and sees this problem, there are a couple of possible causes: a) You didn't define DOXREFS when you built 2.11 news, b) You didn't answer "y" to rn's "Configure" question, "Are you running at least version 2.10.3 of news". -- - Joe Buck, card-carrying ACLU liberal jbuck@epimass.epi.com, or uunet!epimass.epi.com!jbuck, or jbuck%epimass.epi.com@uunet.uu.net for old Arpa sites
