I recently upgraded from patch 8 to patch 14, and since then, have been
unable to add sites with which I exchange news. As in the days when
I was running news patch 8, I am just editing the sys file and adding
lines of the form:

   sysname:group1,group2,....:F:/usr/spool/batch/sysname

Nothing is ending up in /usr/spool/batch for the new sites that I exchange 
news with (or am supposed to exchange news with if I could). News arriving
from other sites isn't getting relayed to the new sites, and locally posted
news isn't getting sent either, even though it is ending up in /usr/spool/news.

Am I doing something wrong? Are there additional things I need to do to
add a new site to those I already exchange news with, now that I am running
news patch 14? The old sites (the ones that existed before I did the
news  upgrade) are getting news as always. It's only the new sites
that don't get anything.

Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
