I'm working on software that will help add Usenet news-handling capability
to UUMAIL, a UUCP-compatible mailer for the Atari ST. I have rnews handing
single and batched newsfiles as described in Mark Horton's RFCxxx draft
"Standard for Interchange of USENET messages [Obsoletes RFC 850]". I'd
like to add the capability to handle compressed news, but I need
information about the format. I presume that it's related to the
#! rnews <bytecount>
header used in news batches, but that is just a guess.
I do have a reliable version of compress/zcat/etc.
Tips would be appreciated.
