- NETWORKING WITH A USENET NEWS SITE
-
- Two filters are provided that will allow a room to be equivalent to a
-UseNet newsgroup. rcit, when called without the -c argument, will assume
-that standard input is in the news format, and convert it before processing.
-Likewise, the filter cux2ascii.c converts Citadel format to news format,
-allowing you to use command lines such as
-
- cat %s |cux2ascii |uux - uunet!rnews
-
- ...the remote system need not be a Citadel/UX. By default, room names are
-the same as the newsgroup names. However, if you wish the room name to be
-different, you may specify so in the network/rnews.xref file. Here is a
-sample of this file:
-
-comp.unix.wizards,UNIX wizards
-alt.drugs,Drugs and Narcotics
-alt.music,Music
-
- It is rather simple, each line taking the form of newsgroupname,sysname.
-There may not be any spaces in the newsgroup name, but there may be spaces
-in the corresponding room name.
