- _T_i_n is a full-screen easy to use Netnews reader. It can read
- news locally (i.e. /_u_s_r/_s_p_o_o_l/_n_e_w_s) or remotely (_r_t_i_n or _t_i_n
- -_r option) via a NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol)
- server. _C_d_t_i_n can read news locally and news archived on
- CD-ROM. It will automatically utilize nov (news overview)
- style index files if available locally or via the nntp xover
- command.
-
- _T_i_n has five separate levels of operation: Group selection
- level, Spooldir selection level, Group level, Thread level
- and Article level. Use the 'h' (help) command to view a
- list of the commands available at a particular level.
-
- On startup _t_i_n will show a list of the newsgroups found in
- $_H_O_M_E/._n_e_w_s_r_c. An arrow '->' or highlighted bar will point
- to the first newsgroup. Move to a group by using the
- terminal arrow keys (terminal dependent) or 'j' and 'k'.
- Use PgUp/PgDn (terminal dependent) or Ctrl-U and Ctrl-D to
- page up/down. Enter a newsgroup by pressing RETURN.
-
- The TAB key advances to the next newsgroup with unread
- articles and enters it.

- specified the number of unread articles in each
- group is printed. An exit code 0 indicates no
- news, 1 that an error occurred and 2 that
- new/unread news exists. Useful for writing
- scripts.
-
- _T_i_n can also dynamically change its options by the 'M' menu
- command. Any changes are written to $_H_O_M_E/._t_i_n/_t_i_n_r_c.
-
- The index daemon version, _t_i_n_d, only supports the -f, -h, -I
- and -v options.
-
- IIIINNNNDDDDEEEEXXXX FFFFIIIILLLLEEEESSSS
- In order to keep track of threads, _t_i_n maintains an index
- for each newsgroup. There are a number of methods in which
- index files can be created and updated.
-
- The simplest method is that each user creates/updates there
- own index files that are stored in $_H_O_M_E/._t_i_n/._i_n_d_e_x. This
- has the advantage that any user can compile and install _t_i_n,
- but the disadvantage is that each user is going to be
- creating duplicate files and using precious disk space. A
- good way to keep index files updated is by doing a _t_i_n -_U
- that will update index files in the background while you are
- reading news in the foreground. You can also update index
- files via the system batcher cron with the -u option:
- 30 6 * * * /usr/local/bin/tin -u
-
- A slightly better method is to set _t_i_n setuid news and have
- all index files created and updated in the news spool
- directory (i.e. /_u_s_r/_s_p_o_o_l/_n_e_w_s/._i_n_d_e_x). This has the
- advantage that there will only be one copy of the index
- files on each machine on your network, but the disadvantage
- is that you will have _t_i_n running setuid news.
-
- A better method is to install the _t_i_n_d index file updating
- daemon and have it create and update index files for all
- groups in your active file at regular intervals in the news
- spool directory (i.e. /_u_s_r/_s_p_o_o_l/_n_e_w_s/._i_n_d_e_x). This has the
- advantage that there will only be one copy of the index
- files on each machine on your network and _t_i_n must not be
- setuid news, but the disadvantage is that you will have to
- have news permissions to install _t_i_n_d and root permissions
- to install an entry in the cron batcher system to have _t_i_n_d
- regularly update index files.
-
- The best method is to install the _t_i_n_d index file updating
- daemon on your NNTP server and have it create and update
- index files for all groups in your active file at regular
- intervals in the news spool directory (i.e.
- /_u_s_r/_s_p_o_o_l/_n_e_w_s/._i_n_d_e_x). This has the advantage that there
- will only be one copy of the index files on the NNTP server

-
-
- for the whole of your network, but the disadvantage is that
- you will have to install my NNTP server patches to allow _t_i_n
- to retreive index file from your NNTP server and and you
- must install an entry in the cron batcher system to have
- _t_i_n_d regularly update index files (note that this is the
- method we use on our network of 40-50 machines and have not
- had any problems).
-
- Entering a group the first time tends to be slow because the
- index file must be built from scratch unless the _t_i_n_d update
- daemon is being used. To alleviate the slowness start _t_i_n to
- create all index files for the groups you subscribe to with
- _t_i_n -_u -_v and go for a coffee. Subsequent readings of a
- group will cause incremental updating of the index file.
-
- If reading news remotely and locally updating index files
- operation will be somewhat slower because the articles must
- be retreived from the NNTP server.

- Maintaining Netnews on large networks of machines can be a
- pretty time consuming job as I discovered when I was given
- the job of maintaining our news system and news users.
-
- _T_i_n is a News User Agent and so most of the users were
- always asking questions or doing things that could be
- frowned upon by there departments. To releive news admins
- (and especially me) of this features have been added to make
- life easier for news adminstrators.
-
- When a user starts _t_i_n it is possible to inform them of any
- important changes/information concerning the news system by
- displaying a message of the day (motd) file. The motd file
- should be created in your news lib directory (i.e.
- /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_n_e_w_s/_m_o_t_d) and should have file permissions set to
- 0644. The motd file will only be displayed if its contents
- is newer than the last time the user started _t_i_n. If reading
- news via NNTP my XMOTD patch will have to have been applied
- to your NNTP server.
-
- A user starting _t_i_n for the first time can be automatically
- subscribed to a list of newsgroups that are deemed
- appropriate by the news administrator. At our site the
- subscriptions file has 125 groups (our active file contains
- over 400 groups with many only being marginally interesting
- to most people). The subscriptions file should be created
- in your news lib directory (i.e.
- /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_n_e_w_s/_s_u_b_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n_s) and should have file
- permissions set to 0644. If reading news via NNTP my LIST
- SUBSCRIPTIONS patch will have to have been applied to your
- NNTP server.

- _T_i_n has five separate levels of operation: Group selection
- level, Spooldir selection level, Group level, Thread level
- and Article level.
-
- At the Group Selection level the title displays the number
- of subscribed groups. The newsgroups are displayed on the
- left of the screen with the number of unread articles
- displayed on the same line in the middle of the screen.
- <Selection Num> <Newsgroup> <Num of unread articles>
- i.e.,
- 1 alt.sources 10
- 2 comp.sources.misc 3
- 3 news.software.readers 12
-
- At the Group level the title contains the name of the group,
- the number of conversation threads and total number of
- articles i.e., alt.sources (7 23). If the group has been
- setup not to thread articles (i.e., alt.sources is in
- $(_H_O_M_E)/._t_i_n/_u_n_t_h_r_e_a_d) the title will be alt.sources (U 23).
- There are two possible display formats as shown below:
- <Selection Num> <Unread> <Responses> <Subject> <Author>
- i.e.,
- 1 + 3 Bnews sources? iain@anl433.uucp
- 2 1 This question has ether@net
- or
- <Selection Num> <Unread> <Responses> <Subject (longer)>
- i.e.,
- 1 + 3 Bnews sources?
- 2 1 This question has a longer subject line
-
- At the Article level the page header has the following
- format:
- <Date posted> <Newsgroup> <Thread 1 of n>
- <Article Num> <Subject> <Num of responses in thread>
- <Author> <Organization>
-
- <Article body>
- i.e.,
- 24 Jul 15:20:03 GMT alt.sources Thread 1 of 2

- The command interface to mail ('m'), pipe ('|'), print
- ('o'), crosspost ('x') and save ('s') articles is the same
- for ease of use.
-
- The initial command will ask you to select which a)rticle,
- t)hread, h)ot (auto selected) r)egex pattern, t)agged
- articles you wish to mail, pipe etc.
-
- Tagged articles must have already been tagged with the 'T'
- command. All tagged articles can be untagged by the 'U'
- untag command.
-
- If regex pattern matching is selected you are asked to enter
- a regular expression (i.e. to match all articles subject
- lines containing 'net News' you must enter '*net News*').
- Any articles that match the entered expression will be
- mailed, piped etc.
-
- To save articles to a mailbox with the name of the current
- newsgroup (i.e. Alt.sources) enter '=' or '=<mailbox name>'
- when asked for the save filename.
-
- To save articles in <newsgroup name>/<filename> format enter
- '+<filename>'.
-
- When saving articles you can specify whether the saved files
- should be post processed (i.e. unshar shell archive,
- uudecode multiple parts etc). A default process type can be
- set by the 'Process type:' in the 'M' options menu.

- _T_i_n allows new/unread news articles to be mailed (-M
- option)/saved (-S option) in batch mode for later reading.
- Useful when going on holiday and you don't want to return
- and find that expire has removed a whole load of unread
- articles. Best to run from crontab everyday while away,
- after which you will be mailed a report of which articles
- were mailed/saved from which newsgroups and the total number
- of articles mailed/saved. Articles are saved in a private
- news structure under your <savedir> directory (default is
- $_H_O_M_E/_N_e_w_s). Be careful of using this option if you read a
- lot of groups because you could overflow your filesystem.
- If you only want to save a few groups it would be best to
- backup your full $_H_O_M_E/._n_e_w_s_r_c and create a new one that
- only contains the newsgroups you want to mail/save. Saved

- _T_i_n will recognize a signature in either $_H_O_M_E/._s_i_g_n_a_t_u_r_e or
- $_H_O_M_E/._S_i_g. If $_H_O_M_E/._s_i_g_n_a_t_u_r_e exists, then the signature
- will be pulled into the editor for mail commands. A
- signature in $_H_O_M_E/._s_i_g_n_a_t_u_r_e will not be pulled into the
- editor for posting commands since _i_n_e_w_s will append the
- signature itself.
-
- A signature in $_H_O_M_E/._S_i_g will be pulled into the editor for
- both posting and mailing commands.
-
- The following is an example of a $_H_O_M_E/._S_i_g file:
- NAMES Iain Lea iain.lea@erlm.siemens.de
- SNAIL Bruecken Strasse 12, 8500 Nuernberg 90, Germany
- PHONE +49-911-331963 (home) +49-911-3089-407 (work)
- _T_i_n also has the capability to generate random signatures on
- a per newsgroup basis if so desired. The way to accomplish
- this is to specify the default signature or the group
- attribute sigfile as a directory. If for example the
- sigfile path is /_u_s_r/_i_a_i_n/._s_i_g_s and ._s_i_g_s is a directory
- then _t_i_n will select a random signature from any file that
- is in the directory ._s_i_g_s (note: one signature per numbered
- file). A random signature can also consist of a fixed part
- signature that can contain your name, address etc. followed
- by the random sig. The fixed part of the random sig is read
- from the file $_H_O_M_E/._s_i_g_f_i_x_e_d.
