I looked into it, and found an error in newscmd.cld. It seems that Geoff forgot to change one occurance of NEWSITEM to NOTEID in the syntax definition for SET ITEM. A patch follows. By the way: I've gotten two letters from people saying that the DIFF that I posted stack dumps on them. I have had no problems at all here, so naturally this is a bit hard to diagnose; is anyone else having this problem, and if so could you at least tell me what line the error is occuring at? ------------------------Begin patch to newscmd.cld-------------------------- *** newscmd.cld;-1 --- newscmd.cld ************** *** 478,484 define syntax SET_ITEM routine do_set_item parameter P1 label=OPTIONS, value(required) ! parameter P2 label=NEWSITEM qualifier HOLD value(default="0") define syntax SET_MANAGER --- 478,484 ----- define syntax SET_ITEM routine do_set_item parameter P1 label=OPTIONS, value(required) ! parameter P2 label=NOTEID qualifier HOLD value(default="0") define syntax SET_MANAGER ---------------------------------End patch------------------------------------ -- Tim Russell Univ.
