Try recompiling rnews... : : After that, I found rnews would not run from uucico because of : memory shortage on my 1.5 meg machine. So I ran it from the : command line and it worked find. Am about to try recompiling : bothe uuxqt and uucico with the -v option... Hmm.. it is possible that rnews and anews require larger stacks, if only because I forgot to go through the source and check for extravegant usage. However, all other programs will run with a stack of 8192. I forgot to put in a stack command in the sample startup. I didn't realize until now how much memory rnews takes, sorry about that! As you surmised, this must be why you have had decompression problems and why running it manually appears to work. I was assuming that the decompress was 14 bits but apparently it is 16 bits. One other bug (fixed in 1.01) is that most programs refer to UUCP:LIB instead of UULIB: ... not a biggy, just put your lib in UUCP: (you can assign the other directories away). This is why I always delay before doing a non-ftp release. -Matt
