3902.0. "News Reader" by FOSTER::PILEEKI () Tue Jul 03 1990 17:32
Perhaps someone here can help me, I dont know where else to ask.
I've been using a program called vnews to read usenet until a
couple of weeks ago when something went wrong. There was a notes
file supporting vnews but I can't find it. When I try to run it I
get this,
Welcome to NEWS version 1.2e <nmt> (rwwj) (jtc) of 29-MAY-1989 20:15:42
Reading your Newsrc file...

What I'd like to know is,
anybody else using this software
is there a notes file somewhere
do I need a different server
any ideas will be appreciated

| You are running a very old version of vnews.
Look in CLO::VNEWS for info for the new version

re .0
The crash (arithmetic trap) is probably dur to something it found in the
newsrc file. That file lists all the news groups along with a "seen map" of
the articles in the groups you subscribe to. One of them probably got
big (numerically) or too segmented.
