and many other sources. This package contains another RNEWS.EXE and EXPIRE.EXE, which you can't use in conjunction with Changi. Only use Rnews and Expire programs which are included in the Changi distribution.
Setting up UUPC isn't trivial, but the manuals are excellent. Take the time to study them. They are packed with valuable information about UUPC specifically and the Usenet in general.
You need to create a minimum of the following files to make uucico and uuxqt work. The samples are for a local machine named os2point.ping.de and a remote called lilly.ping.de.
Sample:
NodeName=os2point Domain=os2point.ping.de postmaster=harald Mailserv=lilly InModem=elink OS2.Editor=EPM %s Options=askcc autosign autoedit autoinclude backup dot purge verbose Options=multitask imfile nobang noimfile MailExt=SPB
Sample:
lilly Any ELINK310 115200 555121 g ogin:--ogin: u ogin: os2point\r\dpasswort
Sample:

Sample (elink310.mdm):

SET UUPCSYSRC=d:\uucp\uupc.rc SET UUPCUSRRC=d:\uucp\harald.rc SET TZ=CET-1 SET CHANGIWORKDIR=d:\Changi SET CHANGIHISTORY=d:\UUCP\NEWS\HISTORY SET CHANGIACTIVEFILE=d:\UUCP\ACTIVE SET CHANGINEWSDIR=d:\UUCP\NEWS SET CHANGISPOOLDIR=d:\UUCP\SPOOL SET NNTPSERVER=lilly.ping.deAfter receiving news batches with uucico you must call uuxqt, which in turn will call Rnews to toss the articles into the local newsbase.
UUPC uses a somewhat different spool file naming convention. In order to store your local posts in UUPC compatible job files, you must create a newsfeeds file like the following examples.
Assuming that your local host is named os2point.ping.de and the remote host's name is news.ping.de, then use this newsfeeds file:
ME:*,!control,!control.*,!junk,!local,!local.*/!local:: news::L,TU:Note that the name of the remote server is given without domain. That is because both hosts, local and remote, are within the same domain.
If the local host is news.in-trier.de and the remote's name is news.ibm.com, then use this:
ME:*,!control,!control.*,!junk,!local,!local.*/!local:: news.ibm.com::L,TU:
ME:*,!control,!control.*,!junk,!local,!local.*/!local:: lilly:comp.os.os2*:F,TUc,S100000:Flag Tc tells Changi to spool articles into compressed batches. Note, that the size of a batch, specified by S100000, is the size of the uncompressed batch file.
