Short: NNTP news poster for AmigaNOS (KA9Q).
Author: Dan Cannon <dan@blender.demon.co.uk>
Uploader: Dan Cannon <dan@blender.demon.co.uk>
Type: comm/net
NNTPKick - Another pounding Blender Software (BS) production
------------------------------------------------------------
This is a client for AmigaNOS that posts Usenet articles to a NNTP server.
I couldn't get AmigaNOS' built-in NNTP poster to work and Demon Internet's
mail2news gateway messes around with the headers something chronic and it
can't cope with 8 bit characters (bbecause it's mail). So I wrote this.
What you need
-------------
Kickstart 2 or above and Graham Walter's version of AmigaNOS (I'm using GW6,
I don't know if earlier versions will work).
You also need ARexx running if you want to use the UUCP to AmigaNOS script.
Version 1.2 -> 1.3
------------------
- The NNTPPost script actually works.
Version 1.1 -> 1.2
------------------
- Optimised.
- Sorted out CTRL-C.
- If you don't give the name of the news server, it looks in 'nntp.dat'.
Version 1.0 -> 1.1
------------------
- Lines beginning with '.' sent properly now.
- Won't bother connecting if no news to send.
- Keeps articles that server doesn't want (by deleting the .wrk file but
leaving the .txt file alone).
- Added IHAVE option, which may mean you can post onto more servers.
- Added POST option, which is a different way of posting articles.
