Message-ID: <201@ncoast.UUCP> Date: Fri, 27-Jul-84 11:32:50 EDT Article-I.D.: ncoast.201 Posted: Fri Jul 27 11:32:50 1984 Date-Received: Mon, 30-Jul-84 01:05:11 EDT References: <8324@watmath.UUCP> <692@ariel.UUCP> <304@plus5.UUCP> <200@ncoast.UUCP> Organization: North Coast XENIX, Cleveland Lines: 21 Perhaps a subject-checker could be implemented: something to search for key words/phrases and suggest a list of newsgroups (and allow only ONE to be chosen from the set). Such as moving "Stonehenge" out of net.general! (Where would it go?) I would write it to use a changeable map file, with entries like: wanted: net.wanted looking for: " 68000: net.micro.68k and so on. Case would be ignored in comparisons. (The " would be a short- hand notation. An alternative to it might be blank newsgroup fields to use the next newsgroup field in the file, like multiple labels in C.) -- Brandon Allbery: decvax!cwruecmp{!atvax}!bsafw 6504 Chestnut Road, Independence, OH 44131 Witness, n.
