I put WNews up here, simply because of the sheer size of CNews. :)
WNews is working fine here. Had a *slight* problem when I just
started feeding another site with it, though... Seems that the
"sys" file needs all information for each site to be on one line.
I had a massive newsgroup listing line, but I put it all on one
line. Kept bombing, so I checked the source. It was only counting
on 128byte lines. ICK!
I didn't fix it so that I could use \ as a continuation metachar, I
just bumped the buffer size. :)
I'm not sure where WNews can be gotten from. The source I have may
have been hacked around a bit, so perhaps you should check elsewhere.
