#
# This program is used to compress your ~/News directory and
# generate a table of contents of that directory. It is only
# needed if you are trying to save disk space.
#
# You will need Larry Wall's excellant news reader "rn" and the
# compress package (sorry, I don't know where we got it). If
# you don't have compress 4.2 people can (presumably) use
# compact(1) but should change the Z to a C. You should also use
# the -/ option of rn to make the files appear in the ~/News
# directory. csh users only (sorry!)
#
# As usual in this world of too many lawyers I assume absolutly no
# responsibility for use or misuse of this program. I do not
# guaranty its use for any purpose whatsover. And if you sue me
# I will deny posting it. It is simply random line noise. Feel
# free to copy/use/modify the code but leave this comment intact
# (already twice as long as the code!). Althougth this is a
# *really* simple program I find it worthwhile. Please send me
# changes etc...
set NEWSDIR=/u/pz/News # I'm *sure* you want to change this
set TOC=TableOfContents
cd $NEWSDIR
find $NEWSDIR -name \[1234567890]\* \! -name \*Z\* -exec grep Subject \{\} /dev/null >> $TOC \; -exec compress \{\} \;
sort $TOC | uniq > rnpress.$$
mv rnpress.$$ $TOC
