There is a new maintainer for this source code.

boby@pixi.com (Robert A. Yetman)

THIS VERSION IS A BETA VERSION
The reason I call it Beta is because there was a basic rewrite of all
the code, and many subroutines were added in, rewritten etc.  It works
great on my system, but there may still be some hidden bugs that I
couldn't find.  If so, let me know.

MAJOR CHANGES
1.  Added batch options to suck to allow the output of suck
to be directly useable by innxmit or rnews.

2.  Added batch and filter options to rpost so that it can
directly use /usr/spool/news/out.going/systemname.

See README for more details.


IDEAS FOR FUTURE REVISIONS

1.  Use autoconf so that it will work on various systems.

2.  Move directory definitions from #defines to command line options.

3.  Remove lpost.c, since its utility has been superseded by the batch
options of suck and rpost.

4.  It was suggested I rewrite the socket stuff to use both TCP and
UDP.  Any comments on this?

Any others?
