Aucbarpa.199 NET.news utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!ARPAVAX:glickman Mon Jul 27 14:51:56 1981 New netnews The new netnews is now entering a testing phase. The inews program has worked for weeks and I can't find any more bugs in readnews. More details soon. I should warn everybody of two aspects of the new netnews: 1) The first 13 characters of a newsgroup name must be unique. 2) Everything is mapped to lower case. As soon as possible, I recommend adding net.ALL to your .sys files is addition to NET.ALL. This won't harm anything, but will keep your site from rejecting articles that come from new sites. Don't worry about ALL. I have it as all in the new version, but ALL never travels between sites so it shouldn't matter.
