How do I send all of the articles available in a select newsgroup to
a new site that I just agreed to be a newsfeed for?  I made the
necessary entries in /usr/lib/news/sys, added the nntpsend.sh to
the crontab, but now I want to send all 200 articles in a local
newsgroup to them.  I can (and did) create a file called 
machinename.abc.def.com in /var/spool/news/out.going
and added a line for each article ...  such as:

/usr/spool/news/ours/general/1
/usr/spool/news/ours/general/2
/usr/spool/news/ours/general/3
/usr/spool/news/ours/general/4
/usr/spool/news/ours/general/5
/usr/spool/news/ours/general/6
/usr/spool/news/ours/general/7
/usr/spool/news/ours/general/8
etc.

I tried a wildcard (*) instead of an article number, but it didn't
work.  How does one send hundreds of articles to a site without
typing in hundreds of entries?

Going one step further, I will be supplying all of the Usenet articles
to another site sometime in the near future.  How do I dump everything
that I have down to this site?

Thanks very much.
