[news.software.anu-news] NEWS.SYS file format.

mark@comp.vuw.ac.nz (Mark Davies) (02/12/90)

I don't run anu-news but feed a couple of sites that do, so I apologise if
this is documented somewhere.

Does anu-news support entries of the form:

site1/site2,site3:subscriptions ...

in the NEWS.SYS file (as UNIX B and C news do).  ie. Queue articles for
site1 unless site1 or site2 or site3 has already appeared in the path line?

The documentation I have seen makes no mention of this capability.

cheers
