frnews(1) Amiga UUCP Users Manual frnews(1)
1 Usage
frnews: Usage: frnews frozennewsbatch
Melts frozennewsbatch to tmpfile (with `freeze <frozennewsbatch
>tmpfile -d') and feed this to `relaynews -r'. Sure, this could be done
in a fancy script, bur unfortunately, the system()-call I use is not
(yet) capable of executing shell-script, thus I wrote this in C.
2 Software Requirements
This is more than a hack! First of all, you have to run AmigaUUCP
Plus or CNews (WARNING: the later hasn't been tested yet). Second, the
executables of `freeze' and `relaynews' HAVE TO lie anywhere in your
search path. Third, you may want to have - at least for your convenience
- an UUXQT that knowns about `frnews' and a sendbatch that known how to
produce frozen newsbatches like this.
3 Installation
Just copy frnews anywhere into your search path, I would suggest as
UUCP:c/frnews. Tell your upstream feed to send you your news in frozen
format (that is: `freeze <batch >tmpfile; uux tmpfile yoursys!frnews').
Enjoy. To feed other sites with frozen news, execute `sendbatch -F site'
(note the capital 'F'; and refer to sendbatch.man).
