The file host.watermark is only used with Chanx' options -mw and -mx to store the newsgroups to retrieve and the highest article number already received in each group. The real pathname of this file is built from the CHANGIWORKDIR environment variable and the hostname specified as a Chanx command line option.
The file must be created manually (any text editor will do)
before connecting the specified host for the first time. Each line
must start with the name of a newsgroup directly followed by a colon.
After retrieving your news
Chanx
will store the highest article number
received for each group after the colon.
newsgroup: [himsg]
comp.os.os2.mail-news: comp.os.os2.networking.tcp-ip:After successfully running
Chanx -mx news.ping.deour file might look like this.
comp.os.os2.mail-news: 1684 comp.os.os2.networking.tcp-ip: 35451
