[news.software.nntp] What is the proper behavior of nntpd with BATCHED_INPUT and CNEWS defined?

royle@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu (Keenan Royle) (11/01/90)

how exactly is batched input supposed to work?
Should the nntpds still be looking at the history file?

Also.  when you define DBZ in the conf.h file do you also define
DBM or NDBM?  Until I defined both DBM and DBZ my syslog was
going crazy with reports of an inaccessable history file.
But news ran very fast with these errors.

As soon as I defined both DBM and DBZ then newsrun started
falling behind in processing the news.

thanks,
