for VMS, some of which provide full local =           storage of news and UUCP protocol support, and some <           of which provide emulation of various network news-           readers available for UNIX systems.   <           With the advent of NNTP, it becomes easier to gain<           access to USENET news by using one local system to=           store news and using "remote" news readers on other            systems.  =           The NEWSRDR utility provides an interface to USENET 9           news that should be more familiar to VMS users. ?           NEWSRDR attempts to follow the

To set up the command symbol, you need to@           know where the NEWSRDR executable image is located for           the command:  ;                            $ NEWSRDR :== $disk:[dir]NEWSRDR   @           Once the symbol is set up, you can invoke NEWSRDR with           the command:  $                            $ NEWSRDR  <           The NEWSRDR command can take up to two qualifiers:;           /[NO]UPDATE and /NEWGROUP_ACTION. The default for :           /UPDATE is /UPDATE=FULL, which causes NEWSRDR to;           obtain information from the NNTP server about all @           available newsgroups. You can specify /UPDATE=PARTIAL,9           which has the same effect as the UPDATE/PARTIAL <           command, or /NOUPDATE, to have no updates occur at           all.  =           Use the /NEWGROUP_ACTION qualifier to override your >           NEWGROUP_ACTION setting in your NEWSRDR profile (see=           SET NEWGROUP_ACTION for more information). Possible :           values are /NEWGROUP_ACTION=NONE, SUBSCRIBE, and@           PROMPT. The default behavior is to honor the NEWGROUP_)           ACTION setting in your profile.   ;           You can also specify /UPDATE=BOTH, which causes a ?           full update to occur, immediate followed by a partial <           update. This may be needed at some sites where the<           news server's "active" file is not kept up-to-date?           with the low-bound article number for its newsgroups. @           If you get extraneous "new articles" messages with the>           default NEWSRDR update behaviour, using /UPDATE=BOTH5           should eliminate those extraneous messages.   A                                                               1-1                     Using NEWSRDR         L           __________________________________________________________________  *    1.1    Using NEWSRDR for the First Time  =           If you have never used NEWSRDR before, NEWSRDR will >           inform you that it cannot find a NEWSRDR profile and?           that it will create one for you. Your NEWSRDR profile =           contains information about which editor you use for ?           composing messages, which article headers you wish to =           see when reading articles, and which newsgroups you <           are subscribed to. It is by default placed in your=           login directory and is called NEWSRDR_PROFILE.NRPF.   >           To start reading news, the first thing you will need=           to do is to subscribe to one or more newsgroups.

This is the best form;           of threading to use when a newsgroup is gatewayed :           to a mailing list, since replies coming from the:           mailing list will generally not have References:>           headers in them. If you want NEWSRDR to use only the=           References: header to determine threading ("strict"o:           threading), specify the /STRICT qualifier on the@           commands that take the /THREAD qualifier (READ/THREAD,-           DIRECTORY/THREAD, SET SEEN/THREAD).   %           ____________________________      1.2.4  Reading by Subject  <           If you wish to read articles on a group of topics,@           you can use the READ/SUBJECT command to specify one or>           more wildcard patterns to match subject headers.

To cut =           down on network and news server load, and generallyt9           improve performance over multiple uses of theseE?           header-intensive commands, article headers are cached5?           in memory by NEWSRDR when they are retrieved from thet>           server. By default, up to 128 sets of headers may be=           cached at once. However, you can control the headeri:           cache size by defining the logical name NEWSRDR_<           HEADER_CACHE_SIZE to be the maximum number of sets:           of headers you wish to have cached. For example:  A                            $ DEFINE NEWSRDR_HEADER_CACHE_SIZE 256e  ;           This will cause NEWSRDR to hold up to 256 sets of_           article headers.  @           Please note that the header cache works on a per-group<           basis only. This means that it works best when you>           do all your work in one group at a time, rather than?           jumping around to different newsgroups, reading a fewR           articles at a time.t  L           __________________________________________________________________  %    1.16   Moving Your NEWSRDR Profile   ?           By default, NEWSRDR expects your profile to be calledD>           NEWSRDR_PROFILE.NRPF and to be located in your login?           directory.
