Subject: RE: q0.12: agent dir names
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 1997 12:19:55 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c=US%a=_%p=Sanchez_Computer%l=OZ-971010161955Z-80024@oz.sanchez.com> (raw)

Let me take back one of those smacks...

in .gnus:

;; No Colons to Filenames
(setq nnheader-file-name-translation-alist 
      '((?: . ?_)))

right from the docs of nnheader-file-name-translation-alist

     In fact, this is the default value for this variable on OS/2 and MS
     Windows (phooey) systems.

So I shouldn't have to set it, but I did anyway...


Group:
         8: nntp+news.zeno.com:zeno.support.superprint.standard.epson

Fetching headers for
nntp+news.zeno.com:zeno.support.superprint.standard.epson...
Creating directory: invalid argument,
d:/emacs/News/agent/nntp/news.zeno.com/nntp+news/zeno/com:zeno

note the nasty colon at the end.
