I have a version of this which started out as the last posting of NEWSWEED,
but which has had the top level shell script changed from sh to csh, and
which supports archiving of news on a machine different than the machine you
read news on, and supports the separation of news into archival save files,
versus news which you only intend to print, not keep.  There are new scripts
which support the transfer and integration of newly read/saved news articles
into your news archive directory on the archival machine, and the automatic
printing of news from the news print directories, without overloading your
print que with such drivel (i.e. it meters the news into the print que).
This counts on Berkeley-ish "rcp" command and "rsh" commands.

I'll post it with sufficient interest.  I'm immediately sending a copy to Ken
in case he want's to steal ideas before his next posting of newsweed.
