[net.news.b] Does anyone have a rvnews, rreadnews, rchecknews, ... for 4.2?

smk@axiom.UUCP (Steven M. Kramer) (07/18/85)

I'd like to keep news on one machine but have a rvnews (remote vnews)
so that the .nesrc file is local but the sources stay where they are.
We're running 2.10.1, but I could adapt other vnews's.

Does anyone have this?
How about remote *news* programs like checknews, postnews, ...?

How about a remote file system so you don't need modified software to
make your applications run?  We've been running readnews on 1000
machines here out of one spool directory with no changes to the
news software.
