Ludwig) Reply-To: mrl@uai.com (Mark R. Ludwig) Organization: Universal Analytics, Inc., Playa del Rey, CA Lines: 15 How is the $NEWSCTL/moderators file updated? I assume it's via another of the auto-magical control files similar to the checkgroups message. Does it matter which transport system I'm using? (I'm using C News as of Dec '90.) How often are the control files sent? Which newsgroup carries it? Does one control file do all the hierarchies? For example, I seem to be missing ``gnu.*''. I've checked the ./notebook, and c-news.doc, reviewed the Nutshell book, and wandered through the $NEWSBIN directory structure, and I don't see anything about this file. I'm sure I've missed something, but I sure can't find it....$$ -- PATH: mrl@uai.com UUCP: uunet!uaisun4!mrl PSTN: 213/822-4422 USPS: 7740 West Manchester Boulevard, Suite 208, Playa del Rey, CA 90293
