**
** ** bncvt.c -- utility to filter bnproc news batches to unbatch.
**
**    Written in a fit of desperation by Carl S. Gutekunst
**
** ** Decsription:
**
**	This filter accepts uncompressed news batches in "bnproc" format and
**	writes them out in "unbatch" format. Using 2.10.3 news, its output can
**	be piped directly into rnews.
**
**	The filter also adjusts for the bnproc "article eater" bug, which threw
**	off the article byte count and caused rnews to discard entire articles.
**
** ** Execution (for 2.10.3 netnews):
**
**	uncompress | bncvt | rnews
**
** ** Generation:
**
**	cc bncvt.c -o bncvt -s -O
**
** ** $Log:	bncvt.c,v $
**	Revision 1.1  85/10/30  19:07:13  csg
**	Initial version, written in a fit of desperation by Carl S. Gutekunst.
