Ok.... I got it to finally log to the debug file.

the command line was:

bin/batcher -v -p"/usr/lib/ifmail/ifnews -N -xabcdefghijklmnopqr
-rf356.n141.z1.fidonet.org" f356.n141.z1.fidonet.org f356.n141.z1

Once again it didn't accept any articles, but did print the following in
the log:

start ifnews ver 2.8e of Thu Mar 14 01:45:26 1996, verbose 0x00003fff

tidy_falist beginning from <null>

Any ideas from this?

Thanks!
