Those of you who find my YRNDL front end (latest v. 1.53) for
Yarn and either Souper or VSoup useful, and, like me, have a preference for
VSoup over Souper: please note that Hardy Griech has obsoleted the "lines"
commands in VSoup (-l or -L), which set a maximum allowable article
length for retrieving news articles.
If you are using YRNDL with VSoup and you just replace an older VSoup
with v. 1.2.8, you may get an error message.
=======YRNDL FIX=======
With your OS/2 System Editor, open YD_PARMS.DAT which the YarnDial
installer created in your yarn %HOME% dir.
You'll find a line that may look something like this:
vsoup_getnews_xtra_options=-k4096 -l800 -a -t10 -S2 -M
If there is no -lxxx or -Lxxx item in the right-hand side of the string,
you have no problem. If there is, simply delete that term (in this example,
-l800).
If you then want to retain the news-article-line-limit feature with VSoup128,
you will have to set up a VSoup Score file, as described in vsoup.inf. If
you want to have it flagged in the vsoup command line in YRNDL, then you
can put -Kscorefilename in place of the -l800 we just took out. But read
the stuff in vsoup.inf about -K/-N conflicts.
P.S. If you are using YRNDL and like it, make sure you have YRNDL153
as bugs in earlier versions were (hopefully all) fixed in 1.53. If you have
problems, please let me know of them.
P.P.S. Kudos to Hardy for his VSoup.
