     Questions for the mob: (All related to PSU netnews V2)

     1) I know that netnews deals with moderated groups via the NETNEWS
DESCRIPT file; where do I find out which groups are moderated/what address
netnews should use? Or am I totally out in left field?

     2) does netnews provide internally any cheap and easy mechanism for
                                       ^ (Or external, I don't care, anything)
interfacing with listserv/internet groups? Say, for example, there's this
internet mailing list that I want to pipe into netnews. It's not gated to
usenet anywhere. I don't want to distribute it anywhere, just local
consumption only.
     I realize I could have a separate DVM sub to the list, tell netnews that
the DVM is the group moderator, then write a chunk of code to process files
both ways; relatively trivial. But you might guess correctly that I could
be a lot more excited about the idea than I am now. (I hate to start YADVM
for it, but I can deal with that; I just really don't want to write the code,
especially if someone else has already.)

     3) Why is it that the netnews code deals so poorly with being crunched?

     Cheers.
