- The charter of news.software.b is to provide a forum for discussion of
- B-news compatible news transport software, specifically including C News
- and INN (InterNetworkNews). The group is unmoderated; participation is
- open to all.
-
- A companion posting, "News.software.b Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)"
- <software_b_faq_770454615@nominil.lonesome.com>, complements
- this one by covering topics that frequently recur on this group.
- Yet another posting, "C News Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)"
- <software_b_cnews_770454615@nominil.lonesome.com>, provides
- information about commonly encountered dilmemmas specifically related
- to the C News package.

- database / NOV General Information".
-
- (Another set is being drafted by Ian Phillipps <ian@unipalm.co.uk> for
- news.admin.technical; at this point this is a "work in progress".)

- All these articles are repeated periodically for the benefit of new readers.
