Environment: BSD, SCO, ISC, SUNOS, SYSVR3, SYSVR4, ULTRIX, XENIX
Supersedes: tin: Volume 23, Issue 15-23

This is version 1.1 PL0 (patchlevel 0) of the tin newsreader.

-  Based more on Notes and tass than rn type newreaders.

-  Full screen, easy to use with on-line help at all levels.

-  Reads news locally (ie. /usr/spool/news) and via NNTP.

-  Threads on Subject: and/or Archive-name: mail headers.

-  Four different operating levels:
   o  Group selection level
   o  Thread selection level
   o  Article selection level
   o  Article viewer

-  Same interface to mail, pipe, print and save articles.

-  Batch mode to mail/save news when user is on holiday.

Enjoy
    Iain.

FIX FEATURES V1.1
-----------------
X
o  Fix 'l' thread command so 2nd page of thread is correct. Need a
X   routine to give the next response in thread.
X
o  Fix -R option to read saved new news from <savedir>
X
o  Fix -S option to save new news to <savedir>. Create an active file
X   when new articles are saved to <savedir>.
X
o  Fix -n option to hash the groups read in from ~/.tin/active and
X   mark active[].flag as TRUE. then find flag=FALSE and ask user if
X   they want to subscribe to group. On xenix386 takes 15 seconds on
X   current -n option.
X
FIX FEATURES V2.0
-----------------
X
o  Fix uuscram code in uudecode.
X
o  Fix code to sort arts. At page level funny things happen.
X
o  Fix code to KILL articles. At page level funny things happen.
X
o  Fix code to KILL articles with 't' command.
X
o  Fix so that it always finds unread messages.
X
o  Fix 'z' so that it stays unread even if a KILL is performed before
X   leaving the group.
X
o  Fix 'z' at group selection level so whole screen is not redrawn.
X
o  Fix code to display only groups with unread news. look at
X   setup_base() also for killing.
X
ADD FEATURES
------------
X
o  Add -P <pattern> or -P <file> to search for in new news and to
X   notify user by mail. Should understand 'subject=text' 'from=text'
X   'body=text' and .AND. && .OR. || for filtering purposes.
X
o  Add elm style print command with %s in it for printing in 'M'.
X
o  Add crossposting of articles so that read ones are marked read in
X   other groups. in rn it uses Xref: line to do this. Perhaps just
X   use update_group() to do it?
X   Needs to handle 'c' 'C' 'k' 'K' commands. Perhaps it should be an
X   option so that performance is not impaired.
X
o  Add 'C' command at group level to catchup present group and
X   enter next group with unread news in it.
X
o  Sort .newsrc according to preference. (sort active file as it is read)
X
o  Add time period kill article
X
PIPEDREAMS
----------
o  Add rebindable keymaps and provide different terminal keymaps
X   (ie. keymap.ansi, keymap.wy50 etc.)
X
o  Add Virtual newsgroups (combination of newsgroups ie. virtual.ibm
X   consists of comp.sys.ibm.* groups).
X
o  Add threading on References like trn with mthreads database.
X
o  Add full curses support instead of using printf()'s.
X
o  Sub all not empty groups by looking at min max values in active array
X   and Unsub all empty groups by looking at min max values in active
X   array. have a command to do this in a toggle effect.

Compilation and installation notes for tin - 01-02-92
-----------------------------------------------------
X
Tin has been compiled on a wide range of Unix machines with cc and gcc.
A list of these machines can be found at the bottom of this file.
X
It can be compiled to read news in any of the following ways:
X  o  locally from your machines news spool dir, usually /usr/spool/news.
X  o  remotely from another machine via NNTP.
X  o  locally and remotely (rtin or tin -r option).
X
The NNTP (NetNews Transport Protocol RFC 977) software needs to be
installed on your machine if want to read news remotely. It is a
SEPERATE PACKAGE that is available from many FTP and mailserver
sites. The file that has to be linked with tin is clientlib.o.
X
Building Tin
------------
X
1)  type 'make' and a few system types will be displayed
2)  edit Makefile if you want to add/change -D<dfines>
3)  type 'make <system type>' to compile for your system
4)  type 'make install' / 'make install_setuid' to install
X

.TH TIN 1 "Version 1.1 PL0"
.SH NAME
tin/rtin \- A threaded Netnews reader
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B tin/rtin
[options] [newsgroups]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Tin
is a full-screen threaded Netnews reader.  It can read news locally
(ie. \fI/usr/spool/news\fP) or remotely (rtin or tin -r option) via
a NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol) server.
.PP
Tin has four newsreading levels:
the newsgroup selection page, the group index page, the thread listing
page and the article viewer.
Use the 'h' (help) command to view a list of the commands available at a
particular level.
.PP
On startup Tin will show a list of the newsgroups found in \fI$HOME/.newsrc\fP.
An arrow '->' or highlighted bar will point to the first newsgroup.
Move to a group by using the terminal arrow keys (ansi/at386/vt100 only) or 'j'
and 'k'. Use PgUp/PgDn (ansi/at386/vt100 only) or Ctrl-U and Ctrl-D to
page up/down. Enter a newsgroup by pressing RETURN.
.PP
The TAB key may be used to advance to the next newsgroup with unread articles
and enter it.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 10
\fB-c\fP
create/update index files for every group in \fI$HOME/.newsrc\fP or
file specified by -f option and mark all articles as read.
.TP
\fB-d dir\fP
save articles to directory. Default is \fI$HOME/News\fP.
.TP
\fB-f file\fP
Use the specified file in place of \fI$HOME/.newsrc\fP.
.TP
\fB-h\fP
help listing all command line options.
.TP
\fB-m dir\fP
mailbox directory to use. Default is \fI$HOME/Mail\fP.
.TP
\fB-M user\fP
mail unread articles to specified user for later reading. For more
information read section Automatic Mailing and Saving New News.
.TP
\fB-n\fP
notify the user of any newly created newsgroups since the last session.
.TP
\fB-p file\fP
print program with options.\fP.
.TP
\fB-r\fP
read news remotely from the default NNTP server specified in the
environment variable NNTPSERVER or contained in the file
\fI/etc/nntpserver\fP.
.TP
\fB-R\fP
read news saved by -S option (not yet implemented).
.TP
\fB-s dir\fP
spool directory where news is stored. Default is \fI/usr/spool/news\fP.
.TP
\fB-S\fP
save unread articles for later reading by -R option. For more information
read section Automatic Mailing and Saving New News.
.TP
\fB-u\fP
create/update index files for every group in \fI$HOME/.newsrc\fP or
file specified by -f option.
.TP
\fB-U\fP
start tin in the background to update index files while reading news
in the foreground.
.TP
\fB-v\fP
verbose mode for -c -M -S -u and -Z options.
.TP
\fB-z\fP
only start tin if there is any new/unread news. If there is news tin
will position cursor at first group with unread news. Useful for putting
in login file.
.TP
\fB-Z\fP
check if there is any new/unread news and exit with appropiate status.
If -v option is specified the number of unread articles in each group
is printed. An exit code 0 indicates no news, 1 that an error occurred
and 2 that new/unread news exists. Useful for writing scripts.
.PP
Tin can also dynamically change its options by the 'M' menu command.
Any changes are written to \fI$HOME/.tin/tinrc\fP.
.SH "INDEX FILES"
In order to keep track of threads, Tin maintains an index for each group.
If Tin is made setuid to news, the indexes will be stored in the news spool
directory (typically \fI/usr/spool/news\fP). If Tin is not setuid, it
will store index files in the subdirectory \fI$HOME/.tin/.index\fP.
Do not make Tin setuid news if news will be obtained via NNTP and not
from \fI/usr/spool/news\fP.
.PP
Entering a group the first time tends to be slow because the index file must
be built from scratch.  Subsequent readings of a group will cause
Tin to incrementally update the index file, adding or removing entries as new
articles come in or as news expires. If reading news remotely indexing
will be somewhat slower because the articles must be retrieved via the
NNTP.
.PP
A good way to keep Tin index files current is to run tin -u from cron:
.RS
.nf
20 6 * * * /usr/local/bin/tin -u -f /usr/lib/news/tin_groups
.fi
.RE
This would update the index files for those groups appearing in
\fI/usr/lib/news/tin_groups\fP.  To index all of the groups on the
system, run tin -u with -f indicating the active file:
.RS
.nf
20 6 * * * /usr/local/bin/tin -u -f /usr/lib/news/active
.fi
.RE
.SH "SCREEN FORMAT"
Tin has three separate levels of operation: Selection Group level, Group level
and Article level.
.PP
At the Selection Group level the title displays the number of subscribed
groups. The newsgroups are displayed on the left of the screen with the
number of unread articles displayed on the same line in the middle of
the screen.
.RS
.nf
.in +.5i
.ta +\w'1  'u +\w'news.software.readers  'u
<Selection Num> <Newsgroup> <Num of unread articles>
.ti -.5i
i.e.,
1    alt.sources            10
2    comp.sources.misc        3
3    news.software.readers        12
.in -.5i
.fi
.RE
.PP
At the Group level the title contains the name of the group, the number
of conversation threads and total number of articles i.e., alt.sources (7 23).
If the group has been setup not to thread articles (i.e., alt.sources
is in \fI$(HOME)/.tin/unthread\fP) the title will be alt.sources (U 23).
There are two possible display formats as shown below:
.RS
.nf
.in +.5i
.ta +\w'1  'u  +\w'+    +\w'This question has   'u +\w'1
<Selection Num> <Unread> <Responses> <Subject> <Author>
.ti -.5i
i.e.,
1    +    3    Bnews sources?        [e-mail]
2        1    This question has        ether@net
.ti -.5i
or
.ta +\w'1  'u +\w'+    'u +\w'This question has a long subject line  'u
<Selection Num> <Unread> <Responses> <Subject (longer)>
.ti -.5i
i.e.,
1    +    3    Bnews sources?
2        1    This question has a longer subject line
.in -.5i
.fi
.RE
.PP
At the Article level the page header has the following format:
.RS
.nf
.in +.5i
.ta \w'<Date posted> <Newsgroup>    'u
<Date posted> <Newsgroup>    <Thread 1 of n>
