Somebody wrote a while back (sorry, I forget the name) with a news
wishlist. One item was the difficulty of resuscribing to newsgroups
once you've used U on them.

I immediately (today, not when I read it) ran to my terminal
to attack the problem with vigor and determination,
undismayed by the severity (or lack of same) of the problem
before me. This Bourne-shell script (i.e., sh, not
csh) will resuscribe to newsgroups:

	usage: resuscribe group [...]

echo x resuscribe
cat>resuscribe<<!
# resuscribe to newsgroup[s]...
for i
do
echo "g/$i/s/!/:/p%w%q" | tr % \\012 | ed $HOME/.newsrc
done
!
Hope somebody finds it useful somewhere.
