Their solution to keeping users informed as to the purpose of a notefile is to have a permanent "policy" note. The policy note can be read by anyone wh wants to know what the note file is about. Maybe a "P [ newsgroup ]" option can be added to readnews to display a policy note. System administrators would have to post (own) these notes. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
