The latest version has som serious problems parsing articles. My syslog is getting huge with 'cannot glue message parts together' and 'article.c 90 error parsing xref' followed by the xref line (really lineS, since they are 1000 or so characters). If it thinks that entire glob is the xref, it does have problems, because after what I see as xrefs are two ^Ms followed by the text of the article (until it hits its length limit). The text it doesn't like really doesn't belong in LOG_WARNING level, it should probably be LOG_DEBUG. Maybe two syslogs would be better, or write the offending articles to a file in the spool instead. Also, my top spool directory has in it subdirectories such as 05 and 03 that contain files with names that look like times (such as 22:35) that are really articles that sould be in some of the real directories which also exist with article numbers as filenames. I second the comment about POSTing resulting in an error from all subsequent GROUP commands. It would be nice if you included a CHANGES file with each release, and a note on what would need to be done to upgrade (such as wipe out the spool when you change history formats). nntpcache has never worked with trn (probably due to it's very aggressive nature towards chasing xrefs and it's pickyness about highwaters never being reported as less than last article read. As a result, trn always complains about every group being reset, even ones not yet read while it chases xrefs on the group you are reading. knews doesn't mind the bogus highwaters, but after reading the groups it will say there are no new articles upon rescan, yet selecting a group will show new articles if they exist. This supports my bogus hihwater theory. I hope you can get the bugs worked out, as it certainly fills a need for sites such as mine that get news through slow links, but it is not anywhere near reliable enough for real use (and purchase). frank -- Frank Smith -- System Administrator E-mail: fsmith@spec.com Systems & Processes Engineering Corp.
