from the specified file; Otherwise the article will be read
from the standard input. An expiration date need not be
present and a receival date, if present, will be ignored.
After local installation, inews will transmit the article to
all systems that subscribe to the newsgroups that the
article belongs to.
The third form is for creating new newsgroups. On some
systems, this may be limited to specific users such as the
super-user or news administrator. (This happens on ours.)
If the file /usr/lib/news/recording is present, it is taken
as a list of "recordings" to be shown to users posting news.
(This is by analogy to the recording you hear when you dial
information in some parts of the country, asking you if you
really wanted to do this.) The file contains lines of the
form:
newsgroups <tab> filename
for example:
net.all /usr/lib/news/net.recording
fa.all /usr/lib/news/fa.recording

pattern on the left will be shown the contents of the file
on the right. The user is then told to hit DEL to abort or
RETURN to proceed. The intent of this feature is to help
