Has anyone made modifications to allow news to work with both an nntp
feed for the bulk of the news, plus having some local newsgroups on a
disk in the organization. Presumably it would be best to modify nntp
rather than every newsreader.
Hmm, that's not very clear, one model might be
/----remore nntpd
/
newsreader----------------->nntpd/
\
\
\---local disk
If nobody has done this, can anyone estimate how hard it would be to
add this capability? Thanks.

The problem with this model is that there is no "nntpd -> remote
nntpd" link. nntpd is just on the remote end; your newsreader sets up
a connexion from the machine you are on to the server which forks off
the nntpd which responds to commands sent via your newsreader.

It should not be terribly hard to add it to newsreaders as long as you
know the internals of them. Finding your way around some of that code
for the first time is a bit of a chore.
