New versions of TERM-2.x.x enable porting with both IP and TERM support, together with a replaceable shared library to track term revisions. This is binary verion of TIN-1.22 NEWSREADER compiled to work on both IP and TERM If you have internet, tin will work. If it can't reach the address and TERM is up (with appropriate env. vars set) tin will try TERM. It needs term shared library. Tested on term-2.1.0, will work on higher, there is also a chance for versions to work. (this is not in manual) - runtime definition of From: field to fit in the suitable host address. Special environment variable NNTPGATEWAY is available for this binary release, compiled in to be used as NNTP_INEWS_GATEWAY described in INSTALL: ... from INSTALL: Example 1: If you are on machine 'tragic' at network domain 'confusion.com', Tin will assume your From: line should read "user@tragic.confusion.com". If your inews script instead rewrites your address as "user@confusion.com", you will be unable to cancel your own postings. To make your posts and cancels work properly, define -DNNTP_INEWS_GATEWAY=\"confusion.com\" Example 2: I use this define to make all my net postings appear from our news gateway machine 'anl433' even though I post from my own workstation 'sony01' i.e. -DNNTP_INEWS_GATEWAY=\"anl433\" Example 3: -DNNTP_INEWS_GATEWAY=\"%anl433.uucp@Germany.EU.net\" (using the '%' hack) will create the net address "Iain.Lea%anl433.uucp@Germany.EU.net" Best regards, Davor. -- , ---------------- Davor Jadrijevic --------------------
