In my sys file:
	
	MAPS:world,comp.mail.maps:F

From a nightly cron script - getmap:


#!/bin/sh
#	@(#)getmaps.sh

#	Reads the netnews for the UUCP maps, extract them and
#	moves them to the storage area

DEST=/usr/spool/paths
ADM=mail
LOG=/local/lib/paths/maplog
SRC=/usr/spool/batch/MAPS
PATH=$PATH:/local/bin

cd $DEST
date >> $LOG

if [ -r $SRC ] 
then
	cat $SRC >> $SRC.work
	rm $SRC
fi

cat $SRC.work | while read i
do
	unshar $i
done
