# 
# The file "localize.nntp" should be used as a starting point from which
# to build a localize.sh from which nntp-capable programs can be built.
# Basically, you can use the regular localize.sh you use and add those line
# that contain #NNTP and NNTPSRC to make it work. You will need two
# localize.sh files. One will be for the SERVER where you build the regular
# inews and run the nntpd server. The other will be for the nntp clients.
# On these machines, you will only build readnews, checknews, vnews and 
# postnews. You only need the parts of the nntp distribution that are in the
# common directory to build these programs. You will also need the inews 
# program from nntp distribution.
#
# The string NNTPSRC should be replaced with the location of your nntp source
# directory. 
# 
# You will need nntp version 1.5 to make full use of these programs. They
# make some use of the XHDR extension in nntp version 1.5. They will work
# with nntp 1.3. If you use nntp 1.4, please manually edit nntp.c to include
# "response_codes.h". Look at the beginning of the file for details.
# 
# You do not need to include any reference to the dbm library. DBM may remain
# undefined.
# 
# You may want to include the line that begins with #RESOLVE in localize.sh
# if you want to link against the resolver library.
# 
# PROBLEMS:
# 
# 1. Distribution checking is disabled in postnews. nntp does not provide this
# information, so postnews cannot check the article before posting. However,
# nntp will return status information if the article fails to post.
# 
# 2. History file support is marginal. nntp does not provided direct access
# to the history file information. nntp can tell if an article is not avail-
# able, but you cannot know if it was cancelled or expired or has not arrived
# yet.
# 
# 3. The recording feature is available, but you have to implement it on each
# host that uses these programs. nntp does not provide this information from
# the server. 
# 
# 4. sys file searching is disabled. Again, nntp does not provide access to 
# this information from the server.
# 
# 5. XHDR support is necessary for some functions to work. This can be
# rewritten to avoid this. nntp 1.5 is available which does support this.
# 
# FINALLY
# 
# If you have bug reports on the nntp hunks of code, please feel free to let
# me know about it. I will do my best to fix them and route the fixes 
# through Rick Adams for patch releases.
