dml@rabbit1.UUCP (David Langdon) (10/27/86)
We have (at times) needed to store news in different directory paths due to
space limitations. Enclosed is an update to vn to allow searching and retrieving
news from an alternate storage directory path. The changes can be applied
using the patch facility which was posted earlier on the net (NOTE: changes
are in diff -c format)
Good luck .. Dave Langdon

#! /bin/sh
# This is a shell archive, meaning:
# 1. Remove everything above the #! /bin/sh line.
# 2. Save the resulting text in a file.
# 3. Execute the file with /bin/sh (not csh) to create the files:
# README
# config.h.diff
# groupdir.c.dif
# pagefile.c.dif

sed 's/^ X//' << \SHAR_EOF > 'README'
XAfter applying the enclosed patches, you should:
X
X 1) Change the config.h file as needed to specify the proper
X paths for your system.
X 2) Change the ASPOOLDIR path to the alternate search path for
X news if necessary in config.h.
X 3) Recompile vn.
