I noticed that if a line in my sys file was too long inews would abort. I got around this by splitting the line for a system in half. Each half was in the same format as if the line had been shorter, i.e., systemname:groups:flags:command|filename. This, however, wouldn't work for the current system as inews evidently reads only the first line and uses it for the current system. -- Darrell McIntosh, AT&T Information Systems Laboratories, Denver (303) 538-3212, {ihnp4|hogpc}!drux3!darrell
