I've managed to compile nn 6.4.0 on an HP 730 running HP-UX 8.07 with a bit
of assistance. Now that I've got it installed I need to apply the patches
but I'm stuck. Here's the deal. I have no articles in the database so nn
reports "No News (is good news)". I was planning to run :patch from within nn
but as you can see, I can't get in. I've tried nn -X and various other
parameters to no avail. I've read the FAQ, the INSTALLATION and PROBLEMS files
that accompany the distribution.. I've tried to use nnpost and postnews to
get an article into nn but I get nowhere. Using postnews I get the following
error message:
defhdrs.awk: no Subject: header!
The actual file is this (which does have a subject header):

Newsgroups: macom
Subject: test post to local group

test post using postnews command to local group
HPUX 8.07
HP730
OLD_AWK defined

What gives?
MTC


Any clues as to what's wrong?  Any hints, suggestions appreciated.
Regards,
Matt
