# 
# The file "localize.nntp" should be used as a starting point from which
# to build a localize.sh from which nntp-capable programs can be built.
# Basically, you can use the regular localize.sh you use and add those line
# that contain #NNTP, NNTPSRC and SERVERFILE to make it work.
# The string NNTPSRC should be replaced with the location of your nntp source
# directory. The string SERVERFILE should be replaced with the location of
# the serverfile. See the nntp (Version 1.4) instructions for more information.
# 
# You will need nntp version 1.4 to make full use of these programs. They
# make some use of the XHDR extenstion in nntp version 1.4.
# 
# You do not need to include any reference to the dbm library. DBM may remain
# undefined. You may also want to remove $(OTHERS) from the line in the
# Makefile that starts with "all:".
# 
# You may want to include the line that begins with #RESOLVE in localize.sh
# if you want to link against the resolver library. I use it on my suns.
# 
# You will need to create a "mailpaths" file on each host that uses these
# programs. See the regular news documenation for information on the
# mailpaths file.
# 
# PROBLEMS:
# 
# 1. Distribution checking is disabled in postnews. nntp does not provide this
# information, so postnews cannot check the article before posting.
# 
# 2. History file support is marginal. nntp does not provided direct access
# to the history file information. nntp can tell if an article is not avail-
# able, but you cannot know if it was cancelled or expired or has not arrived
# yet.
# 
# 3. The recording feature is available, but you have to implement it on each
# host that uses these programs. nntp does not provide this information from
# the server.
# 
# 4. sys file searching is disabled. Again, nntp does not provide access to 
# this information from the server.
# 
# 5. XHDR support is necessary for some functions to work. This can be rewritten
# to avoid this, but I have not done it yet.
# 
# FINALLY
# 
# If you have bug reports on the nntp hunks of code, please feel free to let
# me know about it. I will do my best to fix them and route the fixes 
# through Rick Adams for patch releases.
