We are running version 2.10.1 of the netnews software here at AT&T
Information Systems Labs in Denver.  According to the manual page for
postnews you are allowed to enter a distribution which can restrict
the locations to which a news item is submitted.  In Mark Horton's
"How to Read the Network News" it states that you can specify any
newsgroup class you want it distributed to.  I assume that if I post
an article I want distributed to just netnews sites in Colorado there
would have to be a newsgroup class name 'co' (or something similar)
that the Colorado sites would have to subscribe to.  Is this correct?
Would the article still be posted to the groups specified in
newsgroups but limited to only those sites which receive 'co'?  I
haven't been able to find any documentation which gives details on the
distribution line.

Thanks in advance.
