Summary: Yet another way to avoid extra execs

There is already a shell script that gets executed for each incoming
news batch (if your neighbours use compressed batches): cunbatch.
So by just modifying this file you can get all the desired effects
without any change in the binary directories. On sal I even put
the commands to enable/disable unbatching in the same script
just to have it all in one place.

--------------------------------begin cunbatch--------------------------------
cd /usr/spool/news/delayed.news
case x$1 in
	x-e)
		rm -f cunbatch.stop
		for i in B*.*
		do
		  if test -f cunbatch.stop -o ! -f $i ; then exit 0 ; fi
		    nice /usr/lib/news/compress -d <$i | nice /usr/bin/rnews \
			&& rm -f $i
		done ;;
	x-d)
		touch cunbatch.stop ;;
	*)
		if test -f cunbatch.stop ; then
			set `date`
			exec /bin/cat > B$$.$3$4
		else
		    exec nice /usr/lib/news/compress -d | nice /usr/bin/rnews
		fi ;;
