  Hmm. UUPC and AmigaUUCP variants perhaps?
  Actually, I think most AmigaUUCP's would get counted as BNews.

  Well, I found the C news batching system slightly incomprehensible,
or maybe I couldn't figure out how to do what I wanted... I stuck
to 'nbatcher' which I understand quite well.  So I'm sort of C news
with B+ News (given than nbatcher enhanced B news' sendbatches )
  Do the C News batchers strip the 'Xref' or is the receiving system
supposed to strip it (if it were a C News system, it would obviously
do so). Not really a problem, my downfeed's just found it a little
strange..
