Temples, III -- Orlando, FL Lines: 18 I just applied patches 15 through 18 to my news software hoping that a problem would be fixed; but instead, another was introduced. The original problem has to do with the following line from my sys file: uniwdw:oau,comp.os.minix,comp.unix.xenix,to.uniwdw:F: 2.11.14 and 2.11.18 news will only batch up one or two random articles a week to this site. Why? The new problem introduced with 2.11.18 has to do with the speed of news unbatching. It's now taking 2-3 times as long to unbatch news. Under 2.11.14, my disk lights would stay on continuously until unbatching was done. Now, it looks like it's unbatching an article, sleeping three or four seconds, then doing another article. Has anyone else noticed this? -- John Temples -- UUCP: uunet!jwt!john
