These questions are directed mainly toward Matt himself, but
if you can give an answer, please do so.

1 - Could the package be distributed in a slightly modified
    directory structure if the original ZOO files are also
    sent along (for reference, alas)?

2 - Is the rnews of any use on a 1M machine? (ie has anyone
    tried it already?)

3 - Is it possible to create a local newsgroup and use it
    only amongst a local net of Amigas running the same
    software?  Can the programs handle news batching and
    distributing if one of the Amigas is selected as a hub?
    If not, how difficult would this be to implement in C or
    scripts?

Thanks for any information.  I intend to use this UUCP set
(for it's the most complete I've seen so far) for creating
a Toronto (Canada) local UUCP network for Amigas, with a
gateway to channel UseNet mail from the rest of the world to
our subnet.

Thanks again.
