As the original article says the recsite script is designed for an "A"-type
news header.  The above example is what happens when a B type news header is
fed into this script.  Anybody have time to post a script that would handle
"B" headers?  I really don't want to have to recompile news with the "OLD"
option set in defs.h.
  On a related issue I am not quite sure what to do with the output of the
recsite.  The info is supposed to be in "pathalias" format but the version of
pathalias I have won't handle it, at least until I do some hand editing on it.
This version won't accept or ignore lines beginning with prefixes ending with
colons or semicolons.  Comment lines have to begin with '#'.  I don't know
if later versions of pathalias will accept prefixes of this form as I don't
know the history of pathalias.  Does someone know what gives?

> In the meantime I suggest you all stop sending your site information.

The information has easily come in at a slow enough rate to digest it by
hand editing (which, as mentioned above) I would have to do anyway.  Please
keep on sending your site information.
