I use Linux and OS/2 on the same machine. Obviously the %YARN%
directory must reside on an FAT partition, as this is the only common
ground of both of the OSes. You will find that you need two
configuration files. A configuration file prescribes external programs
to be run by Yarn: compressor, editor, filter, metamail, ... all of
which are OS specific. I use %YARNRC% to tell Yarn which configuration
file I want to use. Use two separate directories to hold the
executables, one for each OS version, but use at most one of them as
%YARN%. Make sure the OS specific configuration file refers to the
corresponding version of filter1.
On multiple machines the above precautions are unimportant --- there is
never the mistake of running the wrong executable. But I don't know a
neat way of keeping the newsbases and the newsrc's in sync.
