[svn] * src/protocol.c: Fix bug in Prt_getLn if we should read a line
starting with '\0' - according to the leafnode mailing list,
this has been seen in the wild.
* docs/inews.1,docs/noffle.1,docs/noffle.conf.5,
packages/redhat/noffle.spec,src/configfile.h,src/configfile.c,
src/noffle.c,src/post.h,src/post.c: Removed use of getopt_long,
and added inews mode - the Noffle executable behaves
as inews is invoked as inews. This includes adding From: and
Organization: headers if necessary - add configs to override
defaults for the From: domain and specify the organization.
For all my fellow trn-heads out there, and users of any other
ageing newsreader that expects inews. Updated RPM spec to create
inews link to noffle on install.

.TH inews 1 .\" $Id: inews.1 227 2000-10-26 21:21:13Z bears $ .SH NAME inews \- Send a Usenet article. .SH SYNOPSIS .B inews [ .B \-D ] [ .B \-O ] [ .B \-S ] [ .I input ] .SH DESCRIPTION .I inews reads a Usenet news article including headers from the named file or standard input if no file is given. It adds some headers and performs some checks. If the article fails the checks (e.g. the article lacks a body, or has no Newsgroups: line), the article is rejected. Otherwise the article is posted. .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-D Debug mode. .I inews adds header lines and performs some checks. If the checks are successful, the article is printed on the standard output and not posted. .TP .B \-O If no .I Organization: header is found, and a value for .I organization is specified in .BR noffle.conf (5), .I inews will add a .I Organization: header using that value. To suppress this behaviour, use the .B \-O flag. .TP .B "\-h \-A \-V \-W" For compatibility with inews programs used with other news servers, .I inews accepts, but ignores, the ``\fB\-h\fP'', ``\fB\-A\fP'', ``\fB\-V\fP'' and ``\fB\-W\fP'' flags. .TP .B \-N For compatability with inews programs used with other news servers, the ``\fB\-N\fP'' flag is treated as the ``\fB\-D\fP'' flag. .TP .B \-S Normally, if a file named .I .signature exists in the user's home directory, .I inews will try to append it to the end of the article. If the file cannot be read, the article will not be posted. If the .B \-S flag is given, .signature will not be added. .SH NOTES .I inews exits with a zero status if the article was successfully posted, or a non-zero status if a check fails or posting fails. .PP This .I inews is supplied with the .B NOFFLE news server. It is, in fact, the main .BR noffle (1) executable, and the .I inews program is just a link to the main .I noffle program. If the .I noffle program sees it is being executed under the name .I inews it adjusts its behaviour accordingly. .SH FILES .B NOFFLE takes its configuration from a configuration file, by default .I /etc/noffle.conf.
