- subject: Notes for Pexpire for Cnews

-
- It is strongly recommended that you read the man page for
- the Cnews expire(8) command, studying the expire list line
- options, then read the cpexpire.1 man page distributed with
- the pexpire package. Note that dopexpire() does not use
- /usr/lib/news/explist.
-
- You may need to edit the Makefile, edit the file
- "pexpire.h", edit the file "pexplist", and edit the file
- "dopexpire", paying particular attention to lines after '#
- YOU MAY WANT TO EDIT THE FOLLOWING'. To install, as root
- do a 'make cnewsinstall'.
-
- Credit-where-credit-is-due department:
- Dave Taylor (taylor@limbo.intuitive.com) originally wrote
- pexpire. I made some relatively minor modifications so that
- it would run under Cnews. His copyright stands. Dopexpire
- is just a doexpire ripoff from Cnews, written by Henry Spencer
- and Geoff Collyer at U. of Toronto. The man page is a
- combination of both Cnews' expire(8) and Dave's pexpire(1) man
- pages.
-
- If you come across problems and non-portabilities, please
- drop me a note.
