NEWSGROUPS(1)            USER COMMANDS              NEWSGROUPS(1)



NAME
     newsgroups   a program to list unsubscribed newsgroups.

SYNOPSIS
     newsgroups pattern flag

DESCRIPTION
     The newsgroups program compares your .newsrc file  with  the
     file of active newsgroups, and prints a list of unsubscribed
     newsgroups matching pattern.  If the second argument  "flag"
     is  present,  only  newsgroups not found in your .newsrc are
     listed, and the display is not paged.  If the  second  argu-
     ment  is  missing,  the  display is paged, and an additional
     list of unsubscribed newsgroups occurring in your .newsrc is
     printed.

ENVIRONMENT
     DOTDIR  Where to find your .newsrc,  if  not  in  your  home
             directory.

             Default: $HOME

     HOME    Your home directory.

             Default: $LOGDIR

     LOGDIR  Your home directory if HOME is undefined.

FILES
     /usr/lib/news/active or a reasonable facsimile
     ${DOTDIR {$HOME $LOGDIR}}/.newsrc

DIAGNOSTICS BUGS
     The flag argument is a kludge.
