News Bulletin #76
21-July-1996
Today's topics:
- News server to be changed on Monday 22-July-1996.
- Modems reminder.
o News server change: On Monday 22-July-1996, around 8:30 the news
server will be changed to a new system. The new system will
hopefully receive the news in a more timely manner and be more
updated. The only difference to be noticed by the users is the
change of article numbers which makes your current NEWSRC file
useless. There is a procedure to reset the article counts for the
new server (while preserving the registered and unregistered
newsgroups) which is applicable for ANUNEWS and VRN users. If you
use one of these packages, then on Monday's mornning please execute
the following command:
$@UTIL$:CONVERT_NEWSRC
It will take a few minutes to run, and hopefully will convert the
files correctly. There is a slight chance it won't do it correctly,
so you'll have to delete the newsrc files.
If you use another software (like Netscape news reader, etc.) you'll
have to delete the newsrc file and start the registration/
deregistration process from the beginning.
o Modems reminder: To remind you, we have the following modem
numbers:
02-6540303, 02-5671221 - For all users.
02-5671211 - for short calls, up to 15 minutes.
