1.1       root        1: #      This file contains mappings between notesfiles and newsgroups
                      2: #      when coming from news to notes, the file is scanned until
                      3: #      a match is found in the second field.  The first field of
                      4: #      that line is used as the notesfile name.
                      5: #      Similarly, when going from notesfiles to newsgroups, the
                      6: #      first line to match the notesfile name with the first field
                      7: #      goes to the newsgroup listed in the second field.
                      8: #
                      9: #      notesfile:newsgroup
                     10: #
                     11: #      For multiple listings:
                     12: #
                     13: #      net.games.ches:net.games.chess

                     19: #      is the setup for the net.general/net.followup issue. This gets
                     20: #      newsgroups net.general and net.followup into the notesfile
                     21: #      net.general.  The third field of the first line sends 
                     22: #      responses from the notesfile net.general to the net.followup
                     23: #      newsgroup.  The third field does not take part in mapping from
                     24: #      newsgroups to notesfiles; it only works going from notesfiles
                     25: #      to newsgroups.
                     26: #
                     27: # --   N.B.:  net.followup is no fun within notesfiles; it 
                     28: # --   destroys the concept of linking responses. We map it here,
                     29: # --   violating net etiquette by posting responses in net.general
                     30: # --   (this isn't true any more)
