There is a tcl script available on this site at http://www.egghelp.org/tclarchive/Ultra ... s11.tar.gz which is supposed to place Slashdot headlines in a channel on request. I added the file slashdotxml.tcl to the script folder and start line in the config file. When I try and fetch the headlines i can view an error via DCC chat with the bot and it is as follows:
[10:17pm] < n3w5droPe99 > [22:17] TCL error [ultranews]:

I checked the url set in the script file (http://www.slashdot.org/slashdot.xml) and it seems to be a valid page. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or how to make this script work? Thanks in advance.

When you visit the URL, do you see the URL in your browser change?

There maybe an option that lynx needs to automajoical make lynx mavigate the URL redirect.
