Title: slrn (newsreader)
Post by: jamesannan on July 28, 2004, 08:09:36 am

Does anyone have a clean copy of this (and, as importantly, does it work properly on an 860)? The only on-line source (slrn_0.9.7.4_arm.ipk) I can find seems corrupted or something...

The latest version is in the download section on this site.

It was compiled with slrnpull for offline newsreading.

Works fine on my 760, even allows you to post.

Can you post using slrnpull?

Everything else works fine for me (reading directly or via slrnpull, posting directly to the server when on-line) but using slrnpull for posting doesn't. No error messages are given, but the outgoing mesages simply do not get put in to slrnpull/out.going. Permissions are ok. Any clues?

Thanks,

James

I thought you could, although I didn't try it.

There was a big thread on this board about 6 months ago regarding slrn.

I'm in a rusj at the moment, if you can't find it I will post a link for you.

I managed to fix that, thanks - just a misconfigured slrnconf file.

Next, how to display japanese fonts....

Glad you got it working and good luck with the Japanese fonts.

I cannot help you wih that one I am afraid.
