While trying to get NNTPXMIT to work yesterday, I found a problem
with nntpxmit.c trying to read the file of articles to send.  What is
wrong here....
   the file contains lines similar to
         /usr/spool/news/alt/test/1 435
         /usr/spool/news/alt/test/2 435
         /usr/spool/news/alt/test/3 435
   These lines are put there by Pnews (inews or something) and are
determined by what was found in my sys file for sending out.  BUT, when
nntpxmit.c tries to read this file it doesn't expect to find anything
after the article (file name). I have checked another site using nntpxmit
and this number is the message-id.  So I assume its supposed to be there.

Well, then is it not supposed to be there or is nntpxmit supposed to handle
it or, the route I took, cat the file (of filenames) through awk before
processing through nntpxmit. What is the $.10 answer?

Any help or clarifications is appreciated.

PS System: Sequent Dynix running Cnews and Pnews.
