I found these files in /usr/lib/news ($LIBDIR):
bnlckget
bnrcvmail
bnsndmail
bnsnduucp
bnstore
Does anyone in netland know what they are (or were)? I've renamed them,
with no apparent effects but I don't want to zap them prematurely....
ANY help would be greatly appreciated:

Entropy and uw-beaver are working to bring up 2.10.2 now, I'll check on the possibility of their using the 2.10.2 batching code. -- John Bossert Data I/O Corporation Redmond, WA uw-beaver!teltone!dataio!{bossert,usenet}
