NAME

newsetup - a program to set up a .newsrc file

SYNOPSIS

newsetup

DESCRIPTION

The newsetup program creates a new .newsrc file containing all of the currently active newsgroups.  It tries to put them in a reasonable order, i.e. local newsgroups earlier, but you’ll probably want to change the ordering anyway (if you use rn) in order to put interesting newsgroups first. If you already have a .newsrc, it will be backed up with the name “.oldnewsrc”.

ENVIRONMENT

DOTDIR
Where to put your .newsrc, if not in your home directory. Default: $HOME

HOMEYour 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

SEE ALSO
