I've been noticing that net traffic on comp.os.eunice is quite light,
so I hope I'm not just casting a bottle into an ocean when I ask this,
but...
I am trying to bring news 2.11 up on EUNICE BSD 4.2, but I am having
tremendous problems in doing so. Could someone out there who has
attempted a similar feat, whether successful or not, drop me a line?
Many thanks in advance...

Hey Rob, how ya doing. I am also in the middle of putting the software
our Eunice. (For reasons that I am sure you have heard about.) I've
have gotten as far as getting the news transfered regularily now. But
there is a problem with the active file. You see it does not get updated.
I have gotten vnews working along with readnews. "rn" is another headache.
Personally I think Eunice is retarded. But hey thats just my opinion.
It may have something to do with it being 4.1 rather than 4.3 or 4.2.
Actually that should read based on 4.1. We do have Eunice 4.2 as you
know.
UUCP is working just great, well great for UUCP under eunice/vms,
whatever that means.

So how far have you gotten ? Does uucp work yet ? What have you
got working ?

Hi. I wrote the code to make news 2.11 run on Eunice. If people
are having problems with it I'd like to hear about them.
But before writing to me:
1) Make sure you have Eunice version 4.2 (the bsd version)
2) Make sure you have installed all three patches.
3) Before building, check inews.c. If the line
UNLINK(ACTIVE, bfr)
appears in it, change this line to
UNLINK(bfr)
(I said "if" because I think there's a corrected version of patch #3
floating around that doesn't introduce this bug).
4) Make sure to type "vmsobj" before building! (Very important).
5) Start by copying "localize.vms" to localize.sh. Make your local
changes in your copy of localize.sh (see the installation manual).
By the way, read the whole installation manual; most of the things
you have to know are the same things people on real Unices need to
know (I considered saying RTFM but decided to be polite).
6) Whenever you modify "active", make sure the file ends up in Unix
format, or chaos will result.
Finally, if you write to me, send your localize.sh.
