I read the announcement of VSoup and some enthousiastic people saying
it was much faster than Souper. So I decided to give it a trie. Since
I never trust new feutures/programs, I decided to test VSoup on getting
my news. I put the VSoup command in the place of the souper command in
my getting-news-script. I made a connection with my provider and ran
the changed script. Nothing happened. Okay, my window opened, but my
script stopped. I couldn't exit the script. Not with CTRL-Break or
CTRL-C, not even with closing the window. It just didn't close. And my
system started acting slower. I had to restart my system to get rid of
the script-window. So I decided to make a small test script to get only
two newsgroups. This is what my script looks like:
@echo off
f:
cd \yarn\temp
vsoup -m -N f:\yarn\home\testrc
if not exist *.msg goto einde
if not exist areas goto einde
copy 00000??.MSG *.OLD
copy AREAS AREAS.OLD
zip -kjm soup.zip areas *.msg
import soup.zip
I connected to my provider, started the script in an OS/2 window and it
got stuck again. This is how far it came this time:
vsoup: connected to news server news.xs4all.nl (getNews)
vsoup: 0 unread articles in hacktic.admin
vsoup: 4 unread articles in xs4all.slip
25% (00000k)
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I would realy like to trie (and
experience) the speed of VSoup.
And a request to Hardy Griech: It might be useful to alow a CTRL-Break
or CTRL-C to exit VSoup, so please can you implement it?
Thanks,
Ronald
