- Short: NNTP news poster for AmigaNOS (KA9Q).
- Author: Dan Cannon <dan@blender.demon.co.uk>
- Uploader: Dan Cannon <dan@blender.demon.co.uk>
- Type: comm/net
-
- NNTPKick - Another pounding Blender Software (BS) production
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This is a client for AmigaNOS that posts Usenet articles to a NNTP server.
-
- I couldn't get AmigaNOS' built-in NNTP poster to work and Demon Internet's
- mail2news gateway messes around with the headers something chronic and it
- can't cope with 8 bit characters (bbecause it's mail). So I wrote this.
-
-
- What you need
- -------------
-
- Kickstart 2 or above and Graham Walter's version of AmigaNOS (I'm using GW6,
- I don't know if earlier versions will work).
-
- You also need ARexx running if you want to use the UUCP to AmigaNOS script.
-
-
- Version 1.2 -> 1.3
- ------------------
-
- - The NNTPPost script actually works.
-
-
- Version 1.1 -> 1.2
- ------------------
-
- - Optimised.
- - Sorted out CTRL-C.
- - If you don't give the name of the news server, it looks in 'nntp.dat'.
-
-
- Version 1.0 -> 1.1
- ------------------
-
- - Lines beginning with '.' sent properly now.
- - Won't bother connecting if no news to send.
- - Keeps articles that server doesn't want (by deleting the .wrk file but
- leaving the .txt file alone).
- - Added IHAVE option, which may mean you can post onto more servers.
- - Added POST option, which is a different way of posting articles.
