SCO Xenix Bnews 2.11 binaries (vnews) and address lines...

[Richard A. Muirden]

Hi,

After installing SCO Xenix's USENET news option (binaries for Bnews
2.11) I have a small problem.

Under vnews (haven't tried readnews or rn), the From: lines are given
in UUCP format: ie: !uunet!munnari!goanna!minyos!s892024, etc... BUT
I want them in internet format (ie: s892024 at minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au) .

Is there any way to achive this? It is very anoying because the
software understands internet addresses, and we'd thought that
UUCP would not come into it. Also users have a problem with UUCP
addresses (and who wouldn't ?!)

Any help you could give would be great!

regards,

Richard
