For reading news, I have provided a Data! file which I use with Rick
Stiles UEdit (shareware) editor. It allows only Next / Prev article,
but it works for me! Start UEdit with:
[run] uex -dDataRN
If you're not using UEX (spelling checker version), replace "uex" with
"ues" (shareware version) or "ue" (basic UEdit).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below is a skeleton of the headers required for a posting to make it
through the network. The procedure I use to send a posting is as follows:
Enter the mailer and send mail to a "feedsite!news". Enter the text of
the posting (may be convenient to copy the original posting into the
mailer buffer). Afte exiting the mailer, change directory to the spool
directory of the UUPC package. Edit the D.feedsite* file which contains
your posting. Add or change the headers to include those that appear in
the "postings" file (described below). Determine the size of the finished
text (I usually exit the editor and use "DIR", but your mileage may vary).
Then edit that file again and insert a line at the beginning of the file
which reads:
#! rnews ####
Where "<size>" is the number of bytes in the text, before adding this line.
Now you can modify the "D.whoami*" file (take out the 'whoami' and put in
you system's name) and change the last line from "C rmail news"
to "C rnews". When the feeder site gets your message, it will run "rnews"
with your posting as stdin. The first line will tell it how big the
article is, and it goes from there. If you're *REAL* careful about
the "#! rnews" sizes, you can put more than one article in a single
mail file. This is how C-News actually works (alas, this isn't yet
implemented on the Amiga, but it will be soon :-)

Eventually there will be a posting program available which is integrated
into this package. Look for an update in 6-8 months.
