(Emacs Message-ID: <871@unh.UUCP> Date: 9 Jan 89 20:00:23 GMT Organization: University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH Lines: 29 is an operating system, right?? :-) Currently we get our news via UUCP from uunet. We don't have NNTP (I really don't know what it is). How can I use Gnus to do this or should I use Gnews or does Gnews have the same problem. I am no lisp hacker. If you can tell me exactly what variables to change, I would be grateful. I currently use vnews to read news. I tried to use the rnews functions within Emacs but it was missing the "pretend I didn't read this article" command which I use heavily. Do either Gnews or Gnus have this command or are there any other newsreaders that do? I tried installing Gnus to not use NNTP but it complained about not having NNTP services or some such thing. Any help is appreciated. Paul Leclerc PS I wish to thank all the Emacs Lisp programmers for all these little goodies that have come through the net. PPS I am looking for a machine-readable copy of the emacs-lisp manual in LaTeX/TeX/Nroff format. I DO NOT have internet access but do have Bitnet access. =========================================================================== Paul Leclerc, Computer Specialist III |Bitnet: P_LECLERC@UNHH.BITNET University of NH |UUCP: ...uunet!unh!pel ===========================================================================
