- LEGAL STUFF
- This program is NOT public domain. This program is OWNED by
- MangaZone Advanced Services. This program is EMAIL-WARE, meaning
- that if you use it, give me (us) an email by telling me how you
- found it, if there are things you would like it to do (no, Dave,
- there is NOT a switch for free beer, and there will be none!).
-
- I and MangaZone Advanced Services imply no warranty on this
- program. If anybody's hard disk gets corrupted, sorry, but we
- can't do anything about it. Same goes for anything else, including
- wives leaving the kids with you 'cause you are always home with
- your computer and make up a good baby sitter!
-
- Ok, that is out of the way.. on with the show.
-
-
-
- DEDICATION
- Yeah, this is a long tradition of mine, I have always
- dedicated my work (music or programming) to somebody special.
- Tonight the dedication goes to the same person that I have
- been dedicating the last few years of my life: to my love, Desiree.

-
- INTRODUCTION
- Ok, quick and easy: It reads the Active file, and writes the .next
- files so important in UUCP setups.
-
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- Anywhere on your path.
-
-
- SYNOPSYS
- UpdateNext
- UpdateNext [-f NEWSFILE] [-d NEWSDIR]
- UpdateNext -h
- UpdateNext ?
-
- In my setup that would be:
-
- UpdateNext -f UUNews:Active -d UUNews:
-
- With the -h option you would get the synopsys. With the ? option you
- will get interactive input.
-
- If you type the command by itself it will use the default parameters:
- UUNews:Active for the active file, and UUNews: for the News directory.
-
- If you omit one or both the -f and -d parameters, then the program
- will use the defaults for that case.
-
-
- Just this easy!
