[description of map-updating script]
>>Anyone who thinks they can do this better, please post your script.

I just put a line in my KILL file for comp.mail.maps, as follows:

/^/w | (cd /maps/newmaps ; sh)

I leave comp.mail.maps subscribed, so when I read the news, as soon as
I come to the map group, all the new maps are automatically copied to
the map directory.  All record-keeping is done by   rn  so there's
no need for timestamping and such.

I could also put a /^/j in there so it would automatically mark them
all as read after writing them to the map directory, but I preferr to
hit 'cy' manually after seeing them written out.
