1.1     ! root        1: Warning: The compression scheme provided here is not compatible with the
        !             2: 2.10.2 version. You must get all the sites you communicate with to run
        !             3: this version of unbatch.c. Otherwise, your compressed news will
        !             4: be thrown away. On the otherhand, you no longer need to have cunbatch
        !             5: on the remote system.
        !             6: 
        !             7: Compress V4.0 is provided with this release. It is not compatible with
        !             8: the 2.0 compress, however, if the -C flag is given to sendbatch, compress
        !             9: will generate V2.0 output. This program can decompress either format 
        !            10: automatically.
        !            11: 
        !            12: Note that sendbatch -c  has replaced csendbatch. sendbatch now takes
        !            13: several flags. See the man page for details.

        !            17: This release (2.10.3 4.3bsd) is for the 4.3bsd tape. The code is known
        !            18: to work on 4.[123]bsd vaxes. It seems works on USG  & V7 systems but has not
        !            19: been extensively tested. There are certainly problems on Eunice systems.
        !            20: DO NOT use this with VMS defined, you will regret it.
        !            21: 
        !            22: In any case, please mail me any problems you have.
