Subject: local news with pine?

we have both a locally spooled usenet, (for a few newsgroups),
and a NNTP/NNRP host to use for other newsgroups not stored locally.

we'd like to be able to use the local news spool to read/post those
newsgroups we do carry, and to use NNTP to access the remote newsserver
for those we do not carry. 

3.91 doesn't seem to have an easy way to define 2 news sites,
1 via nntp the other via local reads (from newsspool). obviously
the sets of newsgroups will have differnet local article numbers,
but we were unable to find how to tell pine to use an alternate
.newsrc file (.newsrc is setup with the article numbers from the remote 
newsserver, .lnewsrc is setup with local article numbers. tin has a
option to use an alternate .newsrc file so we can handle this there ok.

how do we define an alternate .newsrc for pine to use seperate
from the .newsrc that is used when accessing the remote newsserver?

thanks again...
