NAME
   nntppost.c -- functions for talking to the nntp server

SYNOPSIS
   #include "news.h"

   int net_post(file)		-- call rnews to post an article
   char *file;

   char *getgroups()		-- get a group descriptions list

   char *getdistribs()		-- get a current distributions list

DESCRIPTION
   The primitives to post news, implemented to go through the NNTP network
server.

NOTE
   This code assumes you are running NNTP 1.5 patchlevel 4 or a more recent
version, so that `LIST newsgroups' and `LIST distributions' are supported.

BUGS
   Probably legion -- I don't have an nntp to test this on.
