Be tolerated with my English, please. I am using CTMed 2.2.8-stable. I was using the off-line mode of Netscape Communicator 4.05 to download and read news under Win95(just for better Chinese char support). Because I saved too many messages(over 10,000), Netscape crashes occasionally while reading. So I decided to run a news server locally under FreeBSD. I downloaded source code of INN-2.1 and installed it. Since I have only dial-up connection and it is a bit complicated for me to config 'newsfeeds' file, INN was configed only provide newsgroup service locally. Three groups, control, junk and chinese.comp.linux was added. I use 'suck 3.9.1'(provieded in ports/news) to download every article from news.freesoft.cei.gov.cn/chinese.comp.linux to a tmp dir(It took me 2 hours in a 33.6 connection). Now the question comes. How to feed these articles to /usr/local/news/spool/articles/chinese/comp/linux and let INN know. So I can read articles locally as a lurker. I remind that someone had mentioned that he/her had done it using a script by him/herself. Where are you ?!
