Anyway, my question is: "What am I doing wrong?" My ultimate goal is to
have a shell script called something like groupread (rather orwellian) that
I would use like this:
groupread news.group > file
where file would contain all the unread atricles in news.group.
if you ftp "dynafeed" from uunet, i.e
uunet.uu.net:/ClariNet/dynafeed.tar.Z
and compile up the "feed" program in it, create a .newsrc file with
something like
grep net.blurfl ~/.newsrc >.newsrc-blurfl
and then run feed like so
feed -listmode newsrc=.newsrc-blurfl command="cat" > file
it'll do more or less what you want. Read the man pages of course
before you do this.
followups to news.software.b....
