OOPS. Should have caught that. Thanks. Actually, I should have
done a visual pick on that list. Using the internal newsgroup index
is a trifle crude, also. It was a relatively quick way to add the
feature while I was doing other enhancements, however.
BTW, the posting of vn to mod.sources recently is pretty much exactly
what came out in net.sources. It contains the much-discussed "continued
header line from BITNET" bug. I sent mail with a correction to sources@mirror,
which I should have done before he had a chance to bring it out. So, if
anyone pulls off that copy, at least go into reader.c and change the
line in gethead():
if (index(bufr,':') == NULL)
to
if (bufr[0] == '\n')
or maybe that was "buf". I forget. Of course, the rest of the fix (a
check for 0 where the calling routine divides by "artlin") ought to
be done, too, but this one-liner will prevent the cases that occurred.
