NEWSETUP(1)NEWSETUP(1)NAMEnewsetup - a program to set up a .newsrc file
SYNOPSISnewsetupDESCRIPTION
The newsetup program creates a new .newsrc file containing an list of
recommended newsgroups for the first time user. If your news admin has
specified such a list (usually in the file NEWSLIB/subscriptions) trn
will use that as a default for your .newsrc. Otherwise you get a
ridiculously small list that you'll want to add to using the "a pat‐
tern" command in trn (such as "a linux"). If you already have a
.newsrc, it will be backed up with the name ".newsrc-old".
ENVIRONMENT
DOTDIR Where to put 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/subscriptions or a reasonable facsimile
${DOTDIR-{$HOME-$LOGDIR}}/.newsrc
