Simple description, short >sentences. I've browsed TFM but it's not obvious. Incoming stuff: Building INN will give a "rnews" binary and manpage. Put it somewhere uucp will find it. Outgoing stuff: Building INN will give a "batcher" binary and manpage. The "send-uucp" shellscript in the INN-distribution shows an example of how to use this when calling it from cron. Adapt it to Your needs. Important: The feed needs appropriate flags in "newsfeeds" to generate the "pathname size" format for the out.going-list. Summary: Administration of n NNTP-feeds is easier with INN. Administration of n UUCP-feeds is easier with C-News.
