/*
 * This function initializes all the strings used for the various
 * filenames.  They cannot be compiled into the program, since that
 * would be non-portable.  With this convention, the netnews sub-system
 * can be owned by any non-priviledged user.  It is also possible
 * to work when the administration randomly moves users from one
 * filesystem to another.  The convention is that a particular user
 * (HOME, see Makefile) is searched for in /etc/passwd and all files
 * are presumed relative to there.  This method also allows one copy
 * of the object code to be used on ANY machine.  (this code runs
 * un-modified on 50+ machines at IH!!)
 *
 * The disadvantage to using this method is that all netnews programs
 * (inews, readnews, rnews, checknews) must first search /etc/passwd
 * before they can start up.  This can cause significant overhead if
 * you have a big password file.
 *
 * Some games are played with ifdefs to get three .o files out of this
 * one source file.  INEW is defined for inews, READ for readnews,
 * and CHKN for checknews.
