NNTPKick - Another pounding Blender Software (BS) production
------------------------------------------------------------

This is a client for AmigaNOS that posts Usenet articles to a NNTP server.

I couldn't get AmigaNOS' built-in NNTP poster to work and Demon Internet's
mail2news gateway messes around with the headers something chronic and it
can't cope with 8 bit characters (bbecause it's mail). So I wrote this.


What you need
-------------

Kickstart 2 or above and Graham Walter's version of AmigaNOS (I'm using GW6,
I don't know if earlier versions will work).

You also need ARexx running if you want to use the UUCP to AmigaNOS script.


Version 1.2 -> 1.3
------------------

- The NNTPPost script actually works.


Version 1.1 -> 1.2
------------------

- Optimised.
- Sorted out CTRL-C.
- If you don't give the name of the news server, it looks in 'nntp.dat'.


Version 1.0 -> 1.1
------------------

- Lines beginning with '.' sent properly now.
- Won't bother connecting if no news to send.
- Keeps articles that server doesn't want (by deleting the .wrk file but
  leaving the .txt file alone).
- Added IHAVE option, which may mean you can post onto more servers.
- Added POST option, which is a different way of posting articles.
