- batch Output batcher. It should work with B News, but not as well --
- it really wants to be told sizes of articles as well as names.
- conf Configuration stuff, including the "build" shell program that
- does most of the work of installing C News.
- contrib Software from other contributors, possibly useful but not really
- an official part of C News.
- doc User documentation, including "install" which discusses how to
- install C News.
- expire Expire and friends, including history rebuilding and active-file
- updating (neither of which is done by expire in C News). Ought
- to work with B News. Fast, and permits control of expiry time
- and such on a per-group basis.
- h Header files for include (see below).
- hfake Header files that your system ought to have but possibly doesn't,
- for include (see below).
- include Actually not in distribution -- "build" constructs this from h and
- hfake as required.
- input Input spooler and processing. Includes the "rnews" that goes in
- /bin or wherever.
- libsmall
- libbig Libraries for a couple of key functions that care whether they
- have a large address space to work with.
- libbsd42
- libusg
- libv7
- libv8 Libraries for details that are Unix-variety-specific.
- libc Stuff that ought to be in your C library but probably isn't.
- libcnews General C News library functions.
- libfake Stuff that might be in your C library, but might not be.
- libstdio Fast re-implementations of some crucial stdio functions.
- These are compatible with most Bell-derived stdios, and quite a
- bit faster than most of the pre-System-V ones (which includes
- those of many 4BSD variants).
- man Manual pages.
- misc Miscellaneous internal utilities and maintenance programs.
- nntpdiffs Amendments to NNTP version 1.5, for Internet users, to work
- with C News history-file format and to be a good deal faster.
- notebook The C News Implementor's Notebook -- pieces of documentation
- aimed more at gurus than novices.
- relay Relaynews and friends. The heart of C News -- actual reception
- and filing of articles.
- rna A simple version of readnews (by Michael Rourke at UNSW) for
- naive news users.
