Message-ID: <almCBy2nL.E33@netcom.com> Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 241-9760 guest) Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1993 07:40:33 GMT Lines: 13 I am not so much interested in installing cnews at the moment as verifying that it works with the default utilities, since we would like to include it in the FreeBSD distribution. It seems that sh(1) stumbles a bit on the configuration. E..g., it complains about unexpected parenthesis when executing `( >$a )'. My question is: once installed, does the FEB 93 cnews package work correctly with sh(1) and the other NetBSD/386BSD 0.2.4 utilities, or does, say, sh(1) need to be replaced with bash(1), and so on? Any patches or other tips on running cnews under 386BSD/NetBSD would be appreciated. (btw, how stable is the FEB 93 cnews?) -Andrew Moore <alm@netcom.com>
