Simple problem:

Does anyone know where I can get some definitive information for CNEWS? I've installed

nntp-1.5.12.2.tgz and
cnews-cr.g.tgz

on FreeBSD 3.2 and I've got the news server working, but everything with CNEWS comes in a multitude of batch files.  The information I'm looking for is essentially this:

When I post a message, the message is stored in /var/news/in.coming/, and the only way I can process that directory is to run a newsrun script.  Right now I'm running the script with cron every minute to process the messages, but I'm sure there's a better way to be doing this.  So if anyone has a website address or anything else for me to look at it would be much appreciated.
