[net.news.sa] Newsgroup name changes

spaf@gatech.CSNET (Gene Spafford) (08/28/85)

System administrators should make the following three additions
to their /usr/lib/news/aliases file*:

net.notes	net.news.notes
net.chess	net.games.chess
mod.map.uucp	mod.map

What follows is the current "aliases" file on gatech:

mod.map.uucp	mod.map
net.apollo	net.works
net.chess	net.games.chess
net.notes	net.news.notes
net.periph	net.periphs
net.puzzles	net.puzzle
net.sources.wanted	net.wanted.sources
net.stat	net.math.stat
net.term	net.info-terms
net.theatre	net.theater
net.trivia	net.games.trivia
net.unix.wizards	net.unix-wizards
net.vlsi	net.lsi
net.works.apollo	net.works

The groups "net.notes", "net.chess", and "mod.map.uucp" will all go away
in a few days.  Archive the contents of those groups somewhere if
you don't want to lose them.

(*) -- if you aren't running a recent release of news, then you don't
have an "aliases" file.  Plan on installing 2.10.3 when it is released.

Reminder:  uuhosts will break when this occurs unless one changes the
paths in uuhosts, etc.
