- Installation
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- To install the NewsHound newsbase transports, double click on the
- '!InstTrans' program. This copies the contents of the NewsHound directory
- into "!newsdir.newsbase.transports.NewsHound".
-
- Copy !NewsHound to somewhere sensible.
- (eg. the same directory as Messenger or Newsbase, etc..)
-
- Configuration
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- a) NewsHound
- ============
-
- Run !NewsHound from its new location - it will start up and open a
- configuration window.
-
- Change the news server name to show the name of your news server,
- (if it isn't news.demon.co.uk).
-
- Click on save, and all the NewsHound config files will be created.
-
- You can 'tweak' the options by loading NewsHound, and selecting
- 'Configure...' from the menu.
-
-
- b) Newsbase - Transport setup
- =============================
-
- Start Newsbase
-
- Choose Setup... (from the iconbar menu) and then Transport Control.
-
- Select 'Def news route', and select NewsHound - this makes newsbase send outgoing news (posted articles) to NewsHound.
- Newsbase will ask you if you want to resubscribe your current active
- groups to the newshound transport - you probably want to do this!
-
- (if newsbase brings up an error at this point, saying there is no
- news gateway defined, ignore it - it doesn't matter)
-
- Select NewsHound from the 'Transport' popup menu (4th icon down)
-
- Select the 'new news' check box
- (this makes newsbase get incoming news from NewsHound)
-
- Click on 'Save'.
-
- If you have used a news fetcher previously, you may wish to check
- your list of subscribed newsgroups.
- You may subscribe to any extra groups in the normal way - see the
- newsbase stronghelp manual.
-
- NewsHound is now ready for use!
