Subject: Reading news

I'd like to read news from the Pine mailreader.  How can I convince Pine 
to look in a non-conventional place for news?

Instead of /usr/spool/news, I keep my news in /usr/news/spool.  This is 
on the local system (no NNTP or IMAP needed).

Any help or hints are appreciated.

You can edit the c-client/os_???.h file for your system and change 
the definition of NEWSSPOOL, then rebuild.

Or, you can provide a symbolic link to /usr/spool/news.
