KILL files (using multiple newsgroups)

[Geoff Clare]

Marty Saletta <fredonia!sale5312 at cs.buffalo.edu> asked if there is a
way to use the same KILL file for more than one newsgroup.
Tom Reingold <tr at samadams.princeton.edu> suggested linking them
together using "ln".

Tom, please don't post answers without testing them out first.  Your
suggestion will cause the "THRU" line added to the KILL files by rn to
be corrupted, causing incorrect KILL file processing.

Marty, I don't know of any general solution to your request.  You could
define a macro to be used for adding to the relevant KILL files, which
adds the same line to each one.  But that would mean you couldn't use
nice features like /pattern/K:=:j in those newsgroups.
