jsq@ut-sally.UUCP (John Quarterman) (06/05/84)
I've just posted yet another net.news.map reader to net.sources. The first paragraph of that article is as follows: The rest of this article following this paragraph is a shar archive containing a Bourne shell script (and its manual entry) which can be used as a command to interpret the USENET news map information posted to net.news.map by cbosgd!map as well as to show the route to a site chosen by certain kinds of UUCP mail routing software. When called by inews according to a line in news/sys, the same shell script can be used (with the appropriate option) to automatically update the local copy of the map when new articles come in from cbosgd!map. Though this command is used here under 4.2BSD, I do not believe there is anything in it that will not work under System V, System III, or even Version 7. Whether it will work with news software prior to B 2.10, I have no idea. -- John Quarterman, CS Dept., University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78712 USA jsq@ut-sally.ARPA, jsq@ut-sally.UUCP, {ihnp4,seismo,ctvax}!ut-sally!jsq
