NNTP was written to work on B-news systems.  C-news was written to work
with uucp transport.  That both work with either is amazing, but really
nice.

BTW, if you're running NNTP 1.5.11 and B news, you can get the article
id and filename in the batch file by using both the I and F flags in the
sys file entry - Rick and I put that in over a year ago.  If you have a
bunch of redundant NNTP feeds, that can really reduce the disk i/o load
on your feeding machine.
