     I need some help with setting up version 0.5 of Amiga UUCP, and 
request someone to e-mail me the following information if they have this
working, or can point me in the right direction.

     1)  What file structure should I have.  In particular, I do not know
where to set up all the subdirectories for all the news groups I want to
read.  For instance, where do the directories start?  Is something like
comp.sys.amiga.tech a subdirectory of comp.sys.amiga, or are both 
subdirectories of news (i.e. same level of indenture in the file system).
 
     2)  Can AmigaUUCP pass news?  I think that the news must be re-batched
to passed down, but how?  Is just news that I have posted (using postnews)
given out as news?  If I am both, being fed news, and feeding it elsewhere,
how is this managed?

     3)  How is old news deleted?  Is there a utility, or should I write some
sort of shell script (REXX or Execute) to do this?
 
     Computers are a hobby of mine, not a profession, so please be patient
with me.  Before you scream at me, "buy a book," I have bought the H. Sams/
Waite Group book on Unix Communications, and found the section on
administration to be quite thin.  It mostly goes over things from a user 
standpoint, not how to administrator (telling someone to go see their site
administrator is safe, but a cop-out.  I _am_ the site administrator for my
Amiga ;'D).
 
     Please (!) E-mail me.  I will attempt to E-mail those who also express
the desire for such information, or will post a summary if sufficient
interest is expressed.
