/*
 * Batch: program to batch a list of news articles into an unbatch script.
 * Usage: /usr/lib/news/batch listfile
 *  where listfile is a file containing a list, one per line, of full
 *  path names of files containing articles, e.g. as produced by the F
 *  transmission option in the sys file.
 * Output is placed on standard output.
 *
 * Intended usage:
 *  uux -c -z -r rmt!rnews '<' =/usr/lib/news/batchnews_/usr/spool/outnews/rmt
 * where the -c option and the = notation require local mods to uucp.
 * This would be invoked every hour or two from crontab.
 *
 * Other possible usage:
 *  /usr/lib/news/batchnews /usr/spool/outnews/rmt | uux - -z -r rmt!rnews
 * Also invoked from crontab every hour or two.  This requires no changes
 * to your uucp, but eats up disk space storing copies of the articles
 * in the spool directory.  The method you choose is transparent to the
 * other end, but the other end must be expecting this batching format.
