Question: Could you squish this roomer (Or confirm it) for me.

  I have heard that this port of Cnews takes some of the Scripts that Cnews uses
for setting 'policy' and encodes them into C. While some feel this is a good
idea, I often hit a lot of cases where I would like to easily change things.
Does this port use C?  Does it use scripts.   If it does use Scripts, what
type (REXX would be interesting - Use a REXX macro, as REXX seems to be great
at handling strings..)

  When it does get sent to ab20.larc.nasa.gov, please let us know, as that
would be the easiest (And cheapest on the net) method to get it.
