1.1     ! root        1: 
        !             2:      The program "nntpxmit" is an active trnamission client
        !             3: (see the comment in nntpxmit.c for a description of the
        !             4: difference between active and passive clients) written by Erik Fair
        !             5: <[email protected], ...!ucbvax!fair>.
        !             6: 
        !             7:      nntpxmit requires support from the 2.10.3 news source.
        !             8: Because of this, it must be compiled in the "src" directory of
        !             9: the 2.10.3 distribution.  You should:
        !            10: 
        !            11:      1. Move the *.c and *.h files to 2.10.3/src
        !            12: 
        !            13:      2. Move ../common/response_codes.h into 2.10.3/src
        !            14: 
        !            15:      3. Add the lines in the Makefile in this directory to the
        !            16:        2.10.3/src Makefile.
        !            17: 
        !            18:      4. Then do "make nntpxmit".
        !            19: 
        !            20:      Having compiled nntpxmit like that, you need to set your news
        !            21: system up to use it.  Nntpxmit takes as arguments an internet host
        !            22: to connect to, and a file containing a list of articles to send to
        !            23: it.
        !            24: 
        !            25:      So, you might edit your news sys file to have an entry like:
        !            26: 
        !            27: #
        !            28: # NASA Ames Research Center
        !            29: #
        !            30: nike:ucb,uc,mod,to.nike:F:/usr/spool/news/batch/nike
        !            31: 
        !            32: This will place names of news articles in the ucb, uc, and mod newsgroups
        !            33: in the file "/usr/spool/news/batch/nike".
        !            34: 
        !            35: Periodically, you should have crontab run nntpxmit like so:
        !            36: 
        !            37: nntpxmit ames.arpa:/usr/spool/news/batch/nike
        !            38: 
        !            39: which sends each article via NNTP with the IHAVE command
        !            40: to the host "ames.arpa".  Once finished, it removes the file
        !            41: /usr/spool/news/batch/nike.
        !            42: 
        !            43:      nntpxmit has an option "-s" which *supresses* statistic
        !            44: logging via syslog.  Additionally, the "-d" option is availible
        !            45: for debugging.
        !            46: 
        !            47:      Please forward comments/suggestions for improvement/bugs to
        !            48: Erik Fair, <[email protected]>.  [My thanks extended to Erik
        !            49: for writing nntpxmit.  --Phil]
