	I'm having trouble getting my sys file to work the way I want,  locally
we have to sets of groups one of which is for information to go to customers
and the other for internal discussion.  The customer groups are ingruk.ibbs.*
and I want only this part of the ingruk hierarchy sent to the customer
bulletin board.  To achieve this I have the follwoing sys file which I thought
should work :-


	ME:all,!bionet,!nlnet,!biz,!hsv,!psu,!pubnet,!u3b,!ca,!ba::
	swindon:all:F:/usr/spool/news/batch/swindon
	ibbsuk:ingruk.ibbs.all:F:/usr/spool/news/batch/ibbsuk

	Currently no articles sent to the ingruk.ibbs hierarchy are queued to
send to the customer bulletin board (ibbsuk).  The software is CNEWS patched
upto the December 15 patch (thanx to everyone who sent me patches).  If anybody
can tell me what I'm doing wrong or point me in the directioon of the right
part of the "fine manual" I would be grateful.

PS
	as well as the ingruk newsgroup hierarchy there is also a ingruk
distribution,  I don't think that will make any difference,  but you can't have
too much info.
