Anyway, a repost and an additional question at the end.
James
Firstly I want to express my gratitude to Debra Walker <debraw@wwa.com>
and "Big Steve" Coletti <bigsteve@dorsai.org> for their postings and
advice about the Souper95 setup.
After some procrastination I have jumped in and have now gotten it
working running under Windows NT 4.
Now I have some by[the]ways I would like to add:
1. Souper95 v1.5 seems to be slow when fetching news. Has the speed been
improved in v1.6?
2. Due to a _big_ mistake (juggling bookmark files in Netscape) I have
lost the URL to the Souper/Yarn site. Can someone please post/mail
the URL to the latest versions?
3. Am running Yarn95 0.91 under WinNT with the _old_ setup using Qedit
v3 in a cmd.exe window. I have a problem with the keyboard every
other time I start up Yarn95. This is 99% not Yarns' problem since I
am using a 16-bits DOS-based editor in an environment which has
problems with foreign language locales (mine is keybdno, cp 850).
Tips about editors (vi/emacs/pfe32??) which run well from folks who
are running Yarn(95) under NT in a non-cp 437 environment would be
appreciated.
4. Regarding the kill/score-file. Is it still on the download and wipe
basis? If so, any chance of getting a kill before download version?
Else I must start learning how to use the trn kill function.
Just before signing off, my dream:
Hoping for a version of Yarn95 which opens another window for editing
replies/follow-ups leaving Yarn95 in the original window with the
capability to move from one message/article to another thus giving us
users the possibility of creating more compact followups to articles
in a thread, saving on bandwidth.
Not being a programmer I have just the (stupid?) ideas and anyone who
feels called can contact me for a more detailed explanation of my
dream. <g>
New question dated Oct 16, 96:
Running Souper95 from an icon on NT 4 desktop where the the command line
reads "SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe /K c:\bat\souper95.bat" I get quite
a few error messages when sending mail. The error messages are
souper: mailing to ListAdmin@lists.msn.com
The name specified is not recognized as an
internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
souper: mailing to listproc@IntNet.net
The name specified is not recognized as an
internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
and the batch file is as follows
@echo off
echo Setting codepage to 850 ...
CHCP 850
echo Setting env variables for ...
SET HOME=C:\HOME91
SET YARN=C:\HOME91
SET NNTPSERVER=nntp.sn.no
SET MAILER=smtp.sn.no
SET POP=pop.sn.no
IF NOT EXIST C:\QMPRO\UL\OSLONETT.OUT GOTO IN
:OUT
echo Souper95 is sending mail and news ...
echo Unzipping reply packet ...
cd \
c:
cd qmpro\ul
c:\arc\PKUNZIP -o OSLONETT.OUT
g:\souper95\SOUPER95
:IN
echo No packet to upload,
echo Souper95 is fetching News from nntpserver ...
g:\souper95\SOUPER95 -m -N G:\Souper95\newsrc.qwk
c:\home91\yarn\IMPORT95 -u
g:\souper95\SOUPER95 -n smtp.sn.no james password
c:\home91\yarn\IMPORT95 -u
SET NNTPSERVER=
SET HOME=
SET YARN=
cd \
EXIT
Help in opening my eyes to the cause would be very much appreciated.
