NOTE: I don't speak/write English very well so there are probably
lots of strange sentences, feel free to mail me at mcvax!santra!hsu
or mcvax!clinet!hsu to ask if you can't understand what I meant.

This program has been originally written by Teemu Torma. Teemu gave up
developing this for something like a year ago so I have continued his
work.  Most of work probably is still from Teemu, I have done
fidonet-pickup, nodelist indices (rewrote) some work on news-echo
conversions, and most of debugging on receiver, news-echo-stuff and to
get both directions to work with binkley. The only other mailer
I have tested this with is Dutchie.

This is still in alpha-state, I haven't done much testing on
error conditions, somewhere it may exit if something is wrong, somewhere
it sends mail to root/uucp etc :)

If you think this is for you, check TODO for what you could
do for it, for partial (I'm lazy!) version-history you can check
HISTORY. For some info about what it does in certain conditions, you
should see NOTES. For installation, check INSTALL, but do it
AFTER reading all the other files.

If you find 'notes' in the archive, it's my comment file for my internal
use. Probably it doesn't help much unless you speak Finnish :-)


About testing
-------------

*IMPORTANT*

I have never tested this in a real news-environment, as getting news
to local machine here in Finland is quite expensive and price is
per-site, not per-feed. Plus the extra hard disk I would need to get
news fit on my machine. Currently I just have fidonet echomails.
Because of this, be extremely careful when installing this thing, as
some mistake I or you made when installing could cause flood of
unwanted stuff worldwide, and a big bill for you! I take no
reponsibility whatever.
