If Chanx finds a file named host.iwant it will query the articles, which ids or article numbers are contained in this file, before retrieving any new article.
The file must be created in a subdirectory of Changi's working
directory, specified by
CHANGIWORKDIR.
The name of the subdirectory must be equal the name of the remote
server's domain. The basename of the file must be equal the remote's
hostname without domain, to which .iwant
is appended.
Assuming, that articles should be retrieved from news.ping.de and assuming further, that CHANGIWORKDIR has been set to C:\CHANGI, then Chanx expects a file named C:\CHANGI\ping.de\news.iwant.
Usually this file is created by copying some or all lines from a host.drop file.
Each line corresponds to one article and may contain any number
of fields separated by TABs (ASCII 9).
Chanx is only interested in
the first one.
article TAB [any number of additional fields]
Any line not following these rules will be silently discarded.
