Subject: Upgrading to Gnus 5.2 from September Gnus 0.45
Date: 27 May 1996 19:36:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <rj20k6ufo0.fsf@lsls4e.lsl.co.uk> (raw)
Previously using September Gnus 0.45. I think this and 0.40 were the
only versions of September I have run.
I've fetched and installed Gnus 5.2.1 and etc 0.10 and compiled with
XEmacs 19.13 (make EMACS=xemacs).
When starting Gnus (in a new emacs) I first got an error parsing the
.newsrc.eld. After touching .newsrc and restarting XEmacs I get the
following error:
Signalling: (wrong-number-of-arguments #<byte-code (N) "À \"" [buffer-substring-no-properties N] 3> 2)

Is there an easy way round this or do I need to delete the .newsrc.eld
and redefine topics etc?
