Annotation of 43BSD/contrib/news/README, revision 1.1.1.1

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.
                     14: 
                     15: Disclaimer:
                     16: 
                     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.
