Short: NNTP news poster for AmigaNOS (KA9Q). Author: Dan Cannon Uploader: Dan Cannon Type: comm/net Architecture: m68k-amigaos NNTPKick - Another pounding Blender Software (BS) production ------------------------------------------------------------ This is a client for AmigaNOS that posts Usenet articles to a NNTP server. I couldn't get AmigaNOS' built-in NNTP poster to work and Demon Internet's mail2news gateway messes around with the headers something chronic and it can't cope with 8 bit characters (bbecause it's mail). So I wrote this. What you need ------------- Kickstart 2 or above and Graham Walter's version of AmigaNOS (I'm using GW6, I don't know if earlier versions will work). You also need ARexx running if you want to use the UUCP to AmigaNOS script. Version 1.2 -> 1.3 ------------------ - The NNTPPost script actually works. Version 1.1 -> 1.2 ------------------ - Optimised. - Sorted out CTRL-C. - If you don't give the name of the news server, it looks in 'nntp.dat'. Version 1.0 -> 1.1 ------------------ - Lines beginning with '.' sent properly now. - Won't bother connecting if no news to send. - Keeps articles that server doesn't want (by deleting the .wrk file but leaving the .txt file alone). - Added IHAVE option, which may mean you can post onto more servers. - Added POST option, which is a different way of posting articles.
