HOW TO SET UP USENET
BY CHRIS HAUS Cust 250 Forum Assistant
Select Usenet Setup from the F3 Work menu.
Select ADD A GROUP, you will see a list of all of the current
available groups, the list is quite long. There are more than just the
ALT. groups, so be sure not to miss any <G>. Find the name of the group
you wish to access, press ESC and type the exact entire name into the
space provided on the screen. A confirmation screen will appear
asking if this name is correct.
After you've answered YES, another screen will appear with a brief
name of the group. You can edit this one, if you like, to anything
you wish.
You will then be asked if you would like to make this group PERMANENT.
If you say YES, Net-Tamer accesses this group on every pass, and the first
time, it will get only 50 messages. After that it will get ALL new messages
which you have not yet downloaded. You might be surprised to find your
self downloading hundreds of messages. MY SUGGESTION......say NO.
Once you have all of the groups you want entered, select them one by
one. The next screen will give you instructions on how to get the HIGH and
LOW message range for the group. Change the 1- in the highlighted box
to 1S-. On your next pass, Net-Tamer will download a list of the messages
that are available and the message subjects. When you come back to the
usenet menu again and press enter on the group name, you can select just
the messages you want, one by one.
You can also elect to get ALL of the messages posted to the group or a range
of messages. If you want ALL of the messages simply press escape ,if there
is a list and answer yes to delete the list. Now, press enter on the group.
The program will default to the highest message that was available on the
last trip on line like this:
4000-
This would say to get all messages higher than 4000. For a list of
subjects add either an S before the -, or select a range for subjects
(ie 100S-, 350S-500S, etc). To get a range of messages, do not put the
S infront of the number. To get single messages, separate them with a
comma. This information in placed in the usenet.get file and on
your next pass, Net-Tamer will get what you've requested. If you are like
me, you will probably want the last 50-100 messages posted.
