Apparently some parts of the net have not really started converting, so
this script may still be of use. To use, save everything below the "Cut
here" line in a file, and run sh on the file.

# Easy addition of the forthcoming groups, exactly right after
# where your old ones used to be. Multiple newsgroups folded
# to one will cause duplications in your .newsrc. Rn ignores
# unsubscribed bogus groups, so they will sit there harmlessly
# until needed. Groups not on the list of change overs (local,
# talk, junk and bogus etc) will merely be copied.
# No groups will be removed from your .newsrc.
# One should not subscribe to the new groups until they arrive,
# or else rn will move ALL the groups to the end of your .newsrc.
# Very bad. Don't panic, just hit x instead of q when you are
# done.
# Your original .newsrc file will become .newsrc.orig, unless
# you supply an explicit suffix as an argument.
# Usage: sh <this file> <optional suffix>
# Bug: Blank lines are removed from your .newsrc
#File containing list of changeovers. Originally this referred to a
#local copy of Rick Adams announcement in mod.announce, but some sites
#have expired it already.

It worked for me when my friends and I used it, but it doesn't anymore.
Change the ${d}1 and ${d}2 to $1 and $2 respectively, in the awk script.
