- [ My newsposter refused to take this file as-was: the <esc> character
- and ^G character was included, and it doesn't like it. I've
- replaced the <esc> with "&" and the ^G with "~" - there are no other
- &'s or ~'s in the file, so replace all "&" characters with escape
- character and all "~" with control-g using your favorite editor
- before unsharing. If anyone wants the original file mailed to them,
- send me mail. - CWM]

- XThese files relate to the ``newstool'' command which
- Xallows news to be read within a SunView window.
- XThe software has only been tested on a Sun 3/50
- Xusing the news reading program "rn". The files include:
- X
- X Makefile - makefile to install files *
- X README - this file *
- X news.icon - icon displayed when new news is present
- X nonews.icon - icon display when there is no new news
- X newsreader - main news reading csh script *
- X newstool - start-up shell script *
- X newstool.1 - manual page for tool *
- X
- X"newstool" is normally invoked by a user (e.g. in $HOME/.suntools
- Xor $HOME/.rootmenu) and this in turn invokes "newsreader".
- X
- X* Note that some files are currently put under "/usr/news".
- XThis may well need to be changed depending on the
- Xlocal configuration. All the files except the icon files
- Xshould be scanned for this string and edited appropriately
- Xbefore the files are installed (by running "make").

- X.SH NAME
- Xnewstool \- window-based interface for news
- X.SH SYNOPSIS
- X.B newstool
- X[
- X.B \-i
- X.I seconds
- X]
- X.SH DESCRIPTION
- X.I Newstool
- Xis a window-based interface to the \fIrn\fP(1) program for reading news
- Xin the \fISunView\fP environment on a Sun workstation. The icon
- Xindicates whether there is any news to be read. Additionally, the bell
- Xis sounded when new news arrives, and \fIrn\fP is automatically
- Xinvoked. If there is no new news available, \fIrn\fP may still be
- Xinvoked by opening the window and typing ^C to wake up the news
- Xprogram. The window is automatically closed on exit from \fIrn\fP.
- X.SH OPTIONS
- XThe following options are available:
- X.TP 10
- X.BI \-i " seconds"
- XCheck for new news every \fIseconds\fP seconds.
- XThe default is 300.
- X.TP 10
- X.B \-u
- XDisplay the usage of the command.
- X.PP
- XSubsequently, standard \fIsuntools\fP(1) generic tool arguments may be
- Xsupplied if desired.
- X.PP
- XThe default program used to read news is \fIrn\fP; however, this may be
- Xchanged by setting the \fBNEWSPROG\fP environment variable to the
- Xcommand to be executed when reading news. For example, the line:
- X.IP
- Xsetenv NEWSPROG "vn \-%"
- X.LP
- Xwould cause \fIvn\fP to be used with the \fI\-%\fP flag to read news.
