X bsnews - Bootstrap News
X copyright 1989 Ronald Florence
X
X Bootstrap News is a collection of programs which enable a
X leaf node to take a news feed without installing a full news
X package. News articles are accumulated in a Unix-mail type
X spool file, where they can be read with a mail reader such
X as Mail or elm.
X
X The Makefile builds the following programs and files:
X
X rnews - run by "uux - yoursys!rnews" from a
X remote system to read single articles,
X batched, or batched and compressed
X news into the news spool.
X
X uurec - reads articles which arrive as mail
X via "sendnews" into the news spool.
X
X pn - a simple news poster.
X
X checknews - monitors whether new news has arrived.
X
X readnews - invokes the mail reader.
X
X /usr/lib/news/seq - last outgoing article number.
X
X /usr/spool/news/bsnews - the mail spool.
X
X To build bootstrap news, make any changes needed in the
X Makefile, and run make. For a uux feed, add rnews to
X /usr/lib/uucp/L.cmds or the equivalent uucp permissions
X file. You will need /usr/bin/compress for compressed feeds.
X For a sendnews feed, create a sendmail alias for rnews:
X "|/usr/bin/uurec", or use cron to run uurec periodically
X with /usr/spool/mail/rnews as input. Adding checknews to
X your .login or .profile file will give you notification of
X new news when you log in.
X
X You may need to customize "pn":
X If your echo uses -n to suppress newlines,
X If logname does not give the user's name,
X If "uuname -l" does not give the system's uucp name,
X To use an editor other than vi to compose outgoing news,
X To proof outgoing articles with a pager other than more,
X Or to post news by mail.
X
X Permission is hereby granted for unlimited non-commercial
X use of these programs, on condition that the copyright
X notices are left intact and any modifications to the source
X code are noted as such. No warranty of any kind is implied
X or granted for this material.

X# from more than one host, select the one to which you feed news,
X# and change FEEDER to something like Usenet_news.
X# 3. Run make.
