NAME

newsetup - a program to set up a .newsrc file  

SYNOPSIS

newsetup  

DESCRIPTION

The newsetup program creates a new .newsrc file containing all of the currently active newsgroups. It tries to put them in a reasonable order, i.e. local newsgroups earlier, but you'll probably want to change the ordering anyway (if you use rn) in order to put interesting newsgroups first. If you already have a .newsrc, it will be backed up with the name ``.oldnewsrc''.  

ENVIRONMENT

DOTDIR
Where to put your .newsrc, if not in your home directory.

Default: $HOME

HOME
Your home directory.

Default: $LOGDIR

LOGDIR
Your home directory if HOME is undefined.
 

FILES

/usr/lib/news/active or a reasonable facsimile
${DOTDIR-{$HOME-$LOGDIR}}/.newsrc  

SEE ALSO

rn(1), newsrc(5)
