     I woult like to subscribe to several biology-oriented mailing lists
and gate these into local newsgroups that my users could read and post to
using a newsreader.  There are several scripts in the "contributed"
section of the C news distribution that appear to be for supporting this
but the documentation for them is sparse-to-nonexistent.

     I would be grateful to hear any hints or suggestions from anybody
who has successfully added these scripts to his/her news apparatus -- 
or any pointers to other methods of doing the same thing.

     Thanks very much.
