Lines: 20 This is a problem I have been experiencing with vnews that I need clarified. On my system, a Xenix 286 system, vnews CANNOT handle lines of more than 80 characters. It seems whenever a line is longer than 80 characters some of it and the next 1 or several lines are gobbled up! This also seems to be a generic fault of postnews which also does wierd things with long lines. Is this vnews ? my termcap entry? or what? does anyone else have this problem? As an example I will try to send a line longer than 80 characters. frinstance This is a very long line, it will exceed 80 characters by at least 10 additional characters. This line is probably garbled. There should be a line below the long line that says it is probably garbled.
