NNTPspool v1.0 - by Piergiorgio Ghezzo


NNTPspool is a little ARexx script that allow you to maintain a spool for
news  articles.  It work with NNTPpost program (see the INetUtils archive
by Michael B. Smith) and a news reader (see GRn by Michael B. Smith).

AmiTCP or AS225r2 package installed and running is required.


INSTALLATION

Copy  this script in AmiTCP:Bin/ directory. Verify if the S (script) flag
is  set.  You  must  modify the variables at the first lines according to
your installation:

   'SpoolFile'  is the filename without extension for spooled articles. A
                progressive numeric extension is used to store the files.
                Full path is required.

   'PostNews'   Is the news article post program. I suggest NNTPpost.
                Full path is required.

   'CopyCmd'    are the CLI commands (path is suggested for more speed).
      and       You may resident this files for more speed.
    'DelCmd' 

Now  you must modify the PostNews variable in your configuration. Set the
value  to  "NNTPspool".  If you use Tin as News reader, you must set also
the  variable  TIN_Post  with  "NNTPspool  %s  NODELETE". Edit your logon
startup (StartNet for AmiTCP) and add the line

   [C:Run] AmiTCP:bin/NNTPspool

at  the end of the file. When you connect your provider, NNTPspool try to
send immediately the spooled articles.
