You could be right there. I don't use Coherent, I use Minix. (At the moment
I use HP-UX :-( ). But there was a bug in the Wnews header routine. ZvIt
sometimes (always?) generates a "wrong" Date: field. C-News chokes on
this: it just throws the article away, without warning. You will never
know. If you want more information on this subject, I recommend someone
using Wnews with Coherent tries to post on comp.os.minix, asking for
comment on this (that is.. if he can get through, with wnews. Maybe you
can manually edit the Date: field before sending it through uucp?).
Ofcourse, you can always send Email to the author of wnews:

Hope this helps,
