I put the hardcoded paths in NNTP's batch.c, not Jean-Francois.  It
seemed to me that there was no existing mechanism in the NNTP source to
allow all the directory names that we use to take non-standard values
and there were only a few #defines for the directory names, and since we
don't own NNTP and didn't want to produce "C NNTP", I didn't retrofit
the C news configuration mechanisms into NNTP, I just hardcoded the
pathnames.  It didn't seem to matter given the state of the NNTP
configuration mechanisms at the time.  I may have missed something,
though.  With any luck, Stan Barber has integrated our changes smoothly
into NNTP; I haven't checked yet.

There is only one "a" in bestiality.  If you spell it right, you can
exclude it either in your sys file or your active file.
