Message-ID: <2419@aramis.rutgers.edu> Date: Thu, 3-Dec-87 23:54:34 EST Article-I.D.: aramis.2419 Posted: Thu Dec 3 23:54:34 1987 Date-Received: Tue, 8-Dec-87 05:33:27 EST Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 21 Hello all, I heard about Don's reagan.bites demo and I wanted to take a look at it so I ftp'd the files over to my 3/280 and proceeded to attempt to run them. psh spat back that it couldn't find the files. One other detail for info: I was running my NeWS server on a 3/50. Well. The problem is that NeWS only checks the machine on which news_server is running when it does file I/O. Granted, that by default, this must be the case but there should be some mechanism of accessing data on remote machines (like on my 280[[[!!!]]]). Does some mechanism exist that I have missed (besides the obvious of writing a C program to interact with the server)? I understand that adding such a feature would be a pain but does anyone else see its use? Regards, Eliot -- Eliot Lear [lear@rutgers.edu]
