- 1 Usage
-
-
- sendbatch: Usage: sendbatch [-c|-f|-F] [-l length] system
-
- -c uses `compress' to compress each created newsbatch before spooling,
- the result will be spooled with "uux batchfile system!rnews".
-
- -f uses `freeze' to compress each created newsbatch before spooling,
- the result will be spooled with "uux batchfile system!rnews".
-
- -F uses `freeze' to compress each created newsbatch before spooling,
- result will be spooled with "uux batchfile system!frnews".
-
- -l <length> sets the maximum size of each created newsbatch. Note: as
- the news articles are read sequentially from a list file, it is
- possible that some batches are significantly smaller while others
- are greater than the value you specified (i. e. there are articles
- larger than <lenght>). For example, if you set <length> to a VERY
- low value (how about 1000? =:->), you will end up with dozens of
- batches actually greater than the <length> you specified - the
- reason is that we can't split articles.
-
- system finally is the system receiving the newsbatch.
-
-
- 1.1 Frozen News vs. Compressed News
-
-
- This sendbatch supports the creation of `frozen' news as used at
- least by some UN*X-Systems near Braunschweig, Germany. Instead of good
- old `compress', they are using `freeze'áwhich produces in general
- significantly shorter output - but is unfortunately incompatible to
- compress, so we can't just `mv freeze compress' =:-( Thus, they use a
- simple method, that is piping the news batch through `freeze' and UUXing
- the result to `system!frews' (instead of the unusal `rnews').
-
- For Amiga UUCP Plus, this little script (by Gerald Malitz
- <gm@germal.bs.open.de>) will serve as `frnews':
-
- .key in
- .bra {
- .ket }
- freeze <uuspool:{in} >t:frnews.{$} -d
- relaynews <t:frnews.{$} -r
- delete t:frnews.{$} quiet
-
- But you will need an UUXQT that is aware of this new command (the
- Dillon 1.15-version I modified for my sendmail should have been in this
- archive as well) if you want to receive frozen news.
-
- To send, just use the flag `-F' (please note the CAPITAL `F', `f'

- is used for another way of generating frozen news, using a modified
- rnews) when calling sendbatch.
-
-
- 2 Software Requirements
-
-
- Sorry Folks, to make use of this, you have to run Amiga UUCP Plus.
- No way for DUUCP-users - a version for CNews might be available as soon
- as time permits.
-
- Furthermore, as mentioned above, you will need a new UUXQT, for
- example "@()uuxqt.c 1.15.11c (rsmtp/frnews) Dec 3 1991, 00:17:11" (or
- newer), which should have been in this archive, too.
-
- If you want to run frozen news, you will also need the
- `freeze'-binary, available with FTP from several sites or with anon-uucp
- from at least hactar.hanse.de and brewas.swb.de.
-
-
- 3 Installation
-
-
- Just copy this sendbatch anywhere into your search path or better:
- replace your old version (uucp:c/sendbatch) with this version. Make sure
- that the executables of `uux', `compress'á(and `freeze') are in your
- search path!
