htnews 0.6.1 by Thomas Linden
---------------------------

Sorry, the README is not very informative, 
perhaps later!

------------------------------------------------

htnews is a gpl program for unix systems.
it acts as an email-robot. Therefore you need an
email-server on your system running.

You may have to edit the Makefile. Espesially if
you have NOT the egcs or gcc 2.8.x installed, then 
you have to comment out the 3rd line called "DEFINES". 

To compile it, simply type
"make"

and, if everything was ok, type
"make install"

------------------------------------------------

NOTES:
- edit the source htnews.cc to define the location of sendmail
- uncomment the 3rd line in the Makefile to get
  some informational output during processing (will only work,
  if invoked from the commandline)
- read the supplied documentation carefully!
- if you are using a BSD operating system you may get errors
  while compiling the program. Try to comment out the last 3
  lines in the Makefile.

------------------------------------------------

If you want to read the documentation, type
"man htnews"


If you want to see, how it works, there is a test 
installation available:

--- have a nice day.
