I have a USENET site at work running C-news (122291 patchdate)
that is moving to a new domain...same system name, just moving
to a new subdomain within the company.

Is there a quick thing I can do with C-news to switch the domain
(or is there nothing to be done) rather than having to rerun build
and reinstall everything ?

Also, I have to set up a temporary feed in the 'soon-to-be-old-site'.
Can I do a quickie edit of some file(s) to switch the hostname of the
site to the new (temporary) hostname ?  I'd like to basically copy the
whole /usr/local/lib/news tree and again, not have to rebuild a custom
copy and reinstall things if possible.
