New versions of TERM-2.x.x enable porting with both IP and TERM
support, together with a replaceable shared library to track
term revisions.

This is binary verion of TIN-1.22 NEWSREADER compiled
to work on
        both IP and TERM

If you have internet, tin will work. If it can't reach
the address and TERM is up (with appropriate env. vars set)
tin will try TERM.

It needs term shared library.

Tested on term-2.1.0, will work on higher, there is also a
chance for versions to work.

(this is not in manual) - runtime definition of From: field to
fit in the suitable host address.

Special environment variable NNTPGATEWAY is available for this
binary release, compiled in to be used as NNTP_INEWS_GATEWAY
described in INSTALL:
... from INSTALL:

Example 1: If you are on machine 'tragic' at network domain 'confusion.com',
Tin will assume your From: line should read "[e-mail]".  If
your inews script instead rewrites your address as "[e-mail]", you
will be unable to cancel your own postings.  To make your posts and cancels
work properly, define -DNNTP_INEWS_GATEWAY=\"confusion.com\"
Example 2: I use this define to make all my net postings appear from our news
gateway machine 'anl433' even though I post from my own workstation 'sony01'
i.e. -DNNTP_INEWS_GATEWAY=\"anl433\"
Example 3: -DNNTP_INEWS_GATEWAY=\"[e-mail]\" (using the
'%' hack) will create the net address "[e-mail]"

Best regards, Davor.
