- Welcome to patch number 6 for NNTP 1.5.
-
- If you have not installed the first five patches, you must do so
- before proceeding. You can get those patches (and this one) from
- anoymous ftp on bcm.tmc.edu [128.249.2.1] or by sending a message
- to the archive-server@bcm.tmc.edu with the following text:
- send public nntp.patch.1
- send public nntp.patch.2
- send public nntp.patch.3
- send public nntp.patch.4.shar
- send public nntp.patch.5.shar
-
- If you have all five patches installed, you are ready to install
- this set of patches. These patches are packaged as a shell archive.
- They are as follows:
- CHANGES.diff -- This will patch the CHANGES file in the root
- of the nntp distrbution to reflect changes since the release of 1.5.
- server.diff -- This patch is for the files in the server subdirectory.
- To install, change directory to the server directory and type
- patch < server.diff.
- common.diff -- This patch is for the files in the common sub-
- directory. To install, change directory to the common directory
- and type patch < common.diff

- Now, look at common/conf.h.dist and common/README for the new functions
- you may want to use (BATCHED_INPUT,CNEWS). You may want to use the
- new conf.h.dist file as your conf.h file and make changes to it based
- on your old conf.h file.
-
- NOTE: You need to look this over for the following items:
- SIGRET, LOAD, and all the stuff that relates to CNEWS if you run it.
-
- Please read the CHANGES file (following application of the patch) for
- a list of new features.
