I am trying to get netnews running on a 4.2BSD (actually Ultrix 1.0) system.
Individual messages are send/received fine, but batched (csendbatch) messages
always abort on my end with "inews: can't exec shell to unbatch files" or
something similar.  UUCP's LOGFILE says,
"cmd: cunbatch; ret: signal 0; exit 1 (CMD FAILED)".  The news program owns
all the files, and cunbatch is in /usr/bin, so uuxqt *does* find it (I don't
get an error about XQT DENIED or anything either) and start to execute it.

Can you tell me why this is happening?  How can I fix it?  I only have source
for the news s/w, not for any of the uustuff.

Thanks already,
..Bob
