- # SAMPLE SNEWS.RC file
- #
- # The first five variables can be found in UUPC.RC, which Snews reads
- # as well. If you uncomment these in this file, they will override the
- # ones set in UUPC.RC.
- #
- # They are included in this sample file PURELY as a sample setup.
- #
- # WARNING: This can create an UNSTABLE system with outbound articles
- # created by SNEWS. It is highly recommended these values NOT be
- # uncommented!

- #NodeName=izumi

- # Essential information for SNEWS.RC
- #
- # MAILBOX is the variable for your account's name. It should be a
- # one-word name. For instance, in the following example "account"
- # is the Mailbox name.
- # (account@machine.area.country)
- #
- # Change 'moi' to your userid
- #
- Mailbox=moi
-
- # The NAME variable reflects your "real name". It can be set to a
- # false name, or alias, but for purposes of net identification it
- # is best set to your real name.
- # Change 'John Smith' to your full name
- #
- Name=John Smith
-
- # Directory where your personal mail files, including your Signature
- # file, outgoing mail, and mail saved via the "s" command with no
- # file name or with the '=' prefix is placed.
- #
- Home=c:/uupc
-
- # Signature defines a file to be appended to all your outgoing
- # mail. This file should, in general, include your name, E-mail
- # address, and optionally your Snail Mail address and/or phone
- # number. You must create this file yourself, otherwise comment
- # out the following statement.
- #
- Signature=personal.sig
-
- # ALIASES defines the UUPC mail compatible alias file. SNEWS now
- # allows you to specify aliases defined within this file when
- # using the "m" (mail article to someone) or "R" (reply to an
- # address). For the purpose of SNEWS, this file need not exist,
- # and this line may be commented out.
- #
- Aliases=c:/uupc/aliases.txt
-
- #
- # Editor for editing outgoing articles or mail.
- # (eg. for vi, it should be "vi %s", Q-edit: "q %s").
- # Ensure that the editor is located within your DOS path,
- # otherwise please include the exact location of the editor
- # (eg. "c:\dos\util\q %s" for Qedit).
- #
- Editor=vi %s
-
- # OPTIONAL VARIABLES
- #
- # Optional mail header items; these headers are not generated if
- # these lines don't exist. Note that the lines are commented
- # out via a (#) in this sample file.
- #
- # Organization is basically a comment, included in the mail header
- # if it exists.
- # It should reflect the name of your system, company or
- # institution. It indicates to the reader "where" you're writing
- # from.
- #
- #Organization= Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems, Earth, Solar System
-
- #
- # Replyto forces RFC-822 mailers to generate answers to the
- # specified address. Automatic reply commands (including the
- # UUPC/extended MAIL reply command) will respond to this address.
- # This variable should reflect a valid return email address for
- # your system. It should be uncommented if replies to your normal
- # address do not work.
- #
- #Replyto= nobody@dummy.address.com
-
- #
- # These new colour variables define the LOOK of your system, and
- # allow people on monochrome systems to define the screen output
- # differently from colour-screen users.
- #
- # color helpf <col> - Help screen foreground
- # color helpb <col> - Help screen background
- # color textf <col> - Text window foreground
- # color textb <col> - Text window background
- # color headb <col> - Screen header background
- # color headf <col> - Screen header foreground
- # color msgb <col> - Message line (bottom) background
- # color msgf <col> - Message line foreground
- #
- # <col> can be of the following colours:
- #
- # whi - grey note: the shortened names do not have
- # bla - black to be used - only the first 3
- # blu - blue letters of the colour are checked.
- # gre - green
- # red - red
- # mag - magenta
- # cya - cyan
- # yel - yellow
- #
- # add "+" to the end of these and you will get the high intensity
- # version of the same colour. eg: whi+ = white cya+ = light cyan
- # and so on. Fiddle round with it till you get the colours you want.
- #
- color helpf whi+
- #color helpb gre
- color textf whi+
- #color textb bla
- color headb blu
- color headf whi
- color msgb blu
- color msgf whi
-
- # The above example gives you white news article text on a black
- # background. The help screen foreground is white. The screen
- # header is grey on blue, as is the msg line at the bottom of the
- # screen.
