Hi All,

There is a bug in ANU News V5.7 which prevents posting to moderated news
groups.  The following changes need to be made to routine do_posting
(in file NEWSPOST.C).

Change:
        printf("Post to %s Moderator (%s)\nSpawning MAIL task ..\n",
            ga[g]->grp_name,post_address);
        _c$cks(lib$spawn(c$dsc(mail_cmd),0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0));

To:
        printf("Post to %s Moderator (%s)\nSpawning MAIL task ..\n",
            ga[g]->grp_name,post_address);

        if (screen_active) {
            display_brdcst(2);
            no_broad_trap();
            smg$end_pasteboard_update(&pid);
            }

        _c$cks(lib$spawn(c$dsc(mail_cmd),0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0));

        if (screen_active) {
            smg$begin_pasteboard_update(&pid);
            broad_trap();
            }

Also, those of you using Wollongong TCP/IP need to change the definition:

    struct host_ent dest_host;

to:

    struct hostent dest_host;

to avoid fatal compilation errors.  There will still be some warnings, but
they seem to be caused by problems in the Wollongong include files, and
can be ignored (I hope :-).
