The debugging output from the routine The directory scanning routine in UUPC is case sensitive. When scanning for X. files you will notice that the directory has them identified as x. not X. . A simple temporary fix is to change the template found in one of the header files (I don't have the sources here at work) from an uppercase X to a lower case. The real fix is to rewrite the scanning routine to be insensitive to case. While I'm writing this here are a few more comments about UUPC. It works well once you get past a few problems like the above. If you are lucky enough to get a local site to geve you a newsfeed be aware that UUPC will not handle compressed files. You must either receive the raw files or compress them and run them through btoa. I have a version of btoa that works on the amiga and the compress from one of the fish disks works fine. I have yet to get my unbatch program to work (It GURU's after unbatching the second file) but should have it "RSN" (Mid feb. there's a business trip to France in the way :-) ). When I get it all packaged up I'll make it available thru the net. Next we need a good News reader , anyone game?
