Hi all,

I am trying to figure out how to attach to a local news feed with pine.  
Anyone know.  I know the directory where our local news feed is, so I 
shouldn't need to worry about a domain name/nntp.....right?  How do I do it?

Thanks in advnace

Pine currently assumes that your newsfeed is located in /usr/spool/news 
and the active file is in /usr/lib/news/active.  If that is the case, 

	news-collections=News	*[]

should work.  If not, you might be better off using nntp...
