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

BUGS
     The flag argument is a kludge.
