- What I generally do is use the dwrite command from a Unix shell program and
- launch NewsGrazer that way -- so I have a number of "launchers" which set the
- default and then run NewsGrazer -- in fact, it is perfectly possible to have a
- number of grazers set up to different sites..
-
- A simple shell would just be something like:
- #!/bin/csh -f
- /usr/bin/dwrite NewsGrazer NewsGrazerNNTPServer blah.blah.edu
- /LocalApps/NewsGrazer.app/NewsGrazer
- /usr/bin/dwrite NewsGrazer NewsGrazerNNTPServer return.to.original.setting.edu
