I got a chance to try setting this up today, and got YARN working so
that the news can be read from either W98 or OS/2. I also got VSOUP
set up so that it will download the news in W98, but when my batch file
gets to the import step it gives up with the error message:
./AREAS: No such file or directory
import: 0 articles accepted
Here's the batch file I'm using:
@echo off
set YARN=E:\internet\newsread\yarn
set YARNRC=E:\internet\newsread\w95yarn\config
set HOME=E:\internet\newsread\souper
REM Switch to home directory
e:
cd \internet\newsread\souper
REM Download news
e:\internet\newsread\w95yarn\vsoup.exe -t 5 -S 1 -m -k 0
nntp://news.garlic.com
REM Zip up news files
zip -0m soup.zip areas *.msg
REM Backup news files
copy soup.zip soupbkp.zip
REM Import news
e:\internet\newsread\w95yarn\import.exe -u
Again, any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
