Normally this ".next" file is an ascii file containing (ASCII) the number of
the next Articel in this newsgroup, e.g. The articel number for the Next
Articel. But i think rnews updates them ? I have running AmigaUUCP & CNET with
IUUNEWS/IUUMAIL. No problems at all. Look at the Directorys where the IUUxxxx
programs look at. Maybe these are wrong (That was my Fault).

The IUUNEWS program imports the Articles between the UUCP HiWater? or Last
Item mark stored in CNET & the number in ".next" to get the new Articles.
