        !             2: # The file "localize.nntp" should be used as a starting point from which
        !             3: # to build a localize.sh from which nntp-capable programs can be built.
        !             4: # Basically, you can use the regular localize.sh you use and add those line
        !             5: # that contain #NNTP, NNTPSRC and SERVERFILE to make it work.
        !             6: # The string NNTPSRC should be replaced with the location of your nntp source
        !             7: # directory. The string SERVERFILE should be replaced with the location of
        !             8: # the serverfile. See the nntp (Version 1.4) instructions for more information.
        !             9: # 
        !            10: # You will need nntp version 1.4 to make full use of these programs. They
        !            11: # make some use of the XHDR extenstion in nntp version 1.4.
        !            12: # 
        !            13: # You do not need to include any reference to the dbm library. DBM may remain
        !            14: # undefined. You may also want to remove $(OTHERS) from the line in the
        !            15: # Makefile that starts with "all:".
        !            16: # 
        !            17: # You may want to include the line that begins with #RESOLVE in localize.sh
        !            18: # if you want to link against the resolver library. I use it on my suns.
        !            19: # 
        !            20: # You will need to create a "mailpaths" file on each host that uses these
        !            21: # programs. See the regular news documenation for information on the
        !            22: # mailpaths file.

        !            24: # PROBLEMS:
        !            25: # 
        !            26: # 1. Distribution checking is disabled in postnews. nntp does not provide this
        !            27: # information, so postnews cannot check the article before posting.
        !            28: # 
        !            29: # 2. History file support is marginal. nntp does not provided direct access
        !            30: # to the history file information. nntp can tell if an article is not avail-
        !            31: # able, but you cannot know if it was cancelled or expired or has not arrived
        !            32: # yet.
        !            33: # 
        !            34: # 3. The recording feature is available, but you have to implement it on each
        !            35: # host that uses these programs. nntp does not provide this information from
        !            36: # the server.
        !            37: # 
        !            38: # 4. sys file searching is disabled. Again, nntp does not provide access to 
        !            39: # this information from the server.
        !            40: # 
        !            41: # 5. XHDR support is necessary for some functions to work. This can be rewritten
        !            42: # to avoid this, but I have not done it yet.
        !            43: # 
        !            44: # FINALLY
        !            45: #

        !            47: # me know about it. I will do my best to fix them and route the fixes
