batch Output batcher. It should work with B News, but not as well --
it really wants to be told sizes of articles as well as names.
conf Configuration stuff, including the "build" shell program that
does most of the work of installing C News.
contrib Software from other contributors, possibly useful but not really
an official part of C News.
dbz a faster replacement for dbm for news programs which generates smaller
database files than dbm.
doc User documentation, including "install" which discusses how to
install C News. Although the documentation is supplied as troff
sources, no complex formatting is used and it should be quite
readable even if you don't have a troff to format it. We supply
preformatted output for doc/install, as doc/install.out, just
as a precaution.
expire Expire and friends, including history rebuilding and active-file
updating (neither of which is done by expire in C News). Ought
to work with B News. Fast, and permits control of expiry time
and such on a per-group basis.
h Header files for include (see below).
hfake Header files that your system ought to have but possibly doesn't,
for include (see below).
include Actually not in distribution -- "build" constructs this from h and
hfake as required.
input Input spooler and processing. Includes the "rnews" that goes in
/bin or wherever.
libsmall
libbig Libraries for a couple of key functions that care whether they
have a large address space to work with.
libbsd42
libusg
libv7
libv8 Libraries for details that are Unix-variety-specific.
libc Stuff that ought to be in your C library but probably isn't.
libcnews General C News library functions.
libfake Stuff that might be in your C library, but might not be.
libstdio Fast re-implementations of some crucial stdio functions.
These are compatible with most Bell-derived stdios, and quite a
bit faster than most of the pre-System-V ones (which includes
those of many 4BSD variants).
man Manual pages.
misc Miscellaneous internal utilities and maintenance programs.
notebook The C News Implementor's Notebook -- pieces of documentation
aimed more at gurus than novices.
relay Relaynews and friends. The heart of C News -- actual reception
and filing of articles.
rna A simple version of readnews (by Michael Rourke at UNSW) for
naive news users.
