If you think additional problems should be listed in this file, please contact
the authors, or send mail to "grnbugs" from within GRn.
1) "I can't get GRn to execute SendMail or PostNews".
Well, the most likely cause is that you are a Workbench user, and that
you are not executing GRn from the same directory where SendMail and
PostNews exist. Since the Workbench does not understand a CLI "path"
on 2.04, GRn cannot find the appropriate programs to execute.
There are two solutions:
1) Put GRn in the same directory with the other programs (normally
uucp:c).
2) Explicitly name the full pathnames to the programs in your
uulib:config file.
If you get this problem as a CLI user, then you probably haven't put
uucp:c in your path. You have the same two options as above, as well
as:
3) Set the environment variables SENDMAIL and POSTNEWS to point
to the full pathnames of the programs in your uulib:config
file.
2) "GRn doesn't open on my custom/public/whatever screen"
As a CLI user, right now you don't have a choice but to have GRn open its
own screen. This will be fixed in the future.
As a Workbench user, you simply need to edit the tooltypes in GRn's icon
(grn.info) to set LEFT, TOP, HEIGHT, and WIDTH. Then, GRn will use your
existing screen UNLESS GRN WILL NOT FIT. GRn requires a minimum screen
size of 600x400.
3) "GRn doesn't use my custom font"
As a CLI user, right now GRn will use his custom grn.font. If it isn't
present, GRn will not run. You will be given an option in the future.
As a Workbench user, you simple need to edit the tooltypes in GRn's icon
(grn.info) to set MSGFONT and MSGFONTSIZE. The MSGFONT must be in the
"anyfont.font" style, or GRn will fail.
4) "GRn doesn't scroll properly with my custom font"
Well, I thought I fixed this problem. Maybe not. Send me your font, and
I'll try to fix the problem.
5) "When I change the SORT on a Newsgroup, I seem to lose articles"
I do too. It's a bug, I'll try to fix it for the next release.
6) "GRn doesn't use my custom font in the gadgets"
True. It's a pretty big bother to have variable sized gadgets. At this
time, I've decided against them. If enough people ask for them, I can
probably be convinced to change my mind.
7) "How do I use GRn with C-News?"
Use environment variables:
USERNAME - the name (login id) of the user running GRn
NEWSEDITOR - the program to run to Edit outgoing News
MAILEDITOR - the program to run to Edit outgoing Mail
SENDMAIL - the program that submits Mail to UUCP
POSTNEWS - the program that submits News to UUCP
REALNAME - used by SENDMAIL and POSTNEWS (not by GRn directly)
You STILL must have a directory named UUNEWS:, which is the directory
where the top-level news directories exists. You must also have a UULIB:
directory that contains signature files, etc. It may contain a file
named CONFIG that contains standard AmigaUUCP configuration information.
GRn will use those redirections, if they exist, for UULIB and UUNEWS.
