# This file names the location and characteristics of various Usenet
# newsgroups that are carried on this computer.  See the NEWSY.WRI
# document for more information.
#
# Lines beginning with '#' are comment lines.  Blank lines are
# ignored.  The remaining lines are either DEFAULT lines (begin with
# the word DEFAULT) or are lines defining Usenet news groups.  A
# DEFAULT line lets you specify parameters whose values are applied
# to all newsgroup definitions until changed on the next following
# DEFAULT line.  But the active DEFAULT values may be overridden in
# some cases by parameters in a newsgroup definition.  It is strongly
# recommended that you have at least one DEFAULT at the beginning of
# the file that specifies the name of the top-level disk directory
# where your news groups are stored.
#
# parameters understood by Newsy:
# /dir=<directory name> If this appears on a DEFAULT line, it names
#                       the directory where news is kept.  For example,
#                       /dir=c:/news is the "root" news directory;
#                       comp.bbs.waffle is stored at c:/news/comp/bbs/waffle.
#                       If the /dir parameter appears on a newsgroup
#                       definition line, it must be the full pathname of
#                       the directory for the newsgroup.
# /dist=<a string>	Distribution to use when posting articles.  The
#                       form "/dist=" means do not attempt to put a
#                       Distribution: header articles you post.
# /junk                 (Can only appear on a newsgroup definition line.)
#                       This newsgroup doesn't really exist; ignore it.
# /mod=<an address>     (Can only appear on a newsgroup definition line.)
#                       This newsgroup is moderated.  If you post to this
#                       group, your posting will be mailed to the moderator
#                       instead.  The form "/mod=" will force Newsy to use
#                       the "backbone" site defined in your NEWSY.CFG (or
#                       equivalent) file.
# /name=<a string>      (Can only appear on a newsgroup definition line.)
#                       Usually unnecessary.  If present, Newsy will use
#                       this as the name to display on the News Browser.
# /post=<a number>      Minimum user permission required to post.  (This
#                       is meaningful if you use Newsy with Waffle.)
# /read=<a number>      Minimum user permission required to read.  (This
#                       is meaningful if you use Newsy with Waffle.)
#
# NEWSY.WRI lists the parameters understood by Newsy.  Any parameters
# not understood by Newsy are ignored.

# Here's the name of the top-level directory containing all news.

DEFAULT /dir=c:/news

comp.bbs.waffle

# On the next line the /dir is used to indicate a legitimate DOS
# directory name for the newsgroup.  Note that "programmer" has
# been shortened to "programr" to fit the 8.3 DOS convention.

alt.msdos.programmer       /dir=c:/news/alt/msdos/programr

comp.arch

# The following three newsgroups don't really exist; ignore them.

comp.arch.fpga /junk
comp.arch.storage /junk
comp.arch.bus.vmebus /junk

# The next newsgroup is moderated; use the specified address.

comp.binaries.ibm.pc       /mod=cbip@cs.uml.edu

# The next newsgroup is held in the named directory.  (The name was
# chosen to abide by the DOS 8.3 naming convention.)  The group is also
# moderated, but will email your postings to the backbone site.  E.g. if
# the backbone site is berkeley.edu, your posting will be emailed to
# comp.binaries.ms-windows@berkeley.edu.

comp.binaries.ms-windows   /dir=c:/news/comp/binaries/mswin /mod

# In the following group set the distribution to "tx" to keep postings
# within a local area.

tx.politics /dist=tx /name="Texas Politics"
