For a start, you have to actually get it. To do this you should type 'nntptransfer in your open shell window when you are online. You will get one of two responses for this, either that Demon's newsserver is too busy and you should try again later, or that you are connected to it. By default you will only download news for the demon newsgroups dealing with the Amiga_ If you want to get stuff other than this, you will need to edit your ArniTCP:usreibinewsgroups file to include the groups you wish to subscnbe to. If you don't know what any of the groups are called, you will need to download the ACTIVE list from Demon's ftp server. This contains all the newsgroups available through Demon. If you want to subscribe to a whole hierarchy of news, for instance the comp.sys.amiga hierarchy, you can put an asterisk as a wildcard as follows; colvsys.amiga I cowlys.tligi. , 1 This will subscribe to the newsgroups comp.sysamiga and any subordinate ones such as comp.sys_amiga.graphies. comp.sys.amiga,hardware, a n d comp.sys.amiga.marketplace, etc. without you having to type them all in by hand. Once you have edited this file to your satisfaction and run nntptransfer successfully, it is time for you to start reading the news you have downloaded. To do this you should run the Tin script in your bin directory. This should open a console window v•so.s•••.•••••••••••••••••...issw•••••••••.••••••. •••••s•fo.i•eass....•••••• 016 alanift0E d 11• • • • • • • • SE= WebBrawler hos to be one of the most • ILO 00 10 . 11 e important URts for anyone running Amosalo _ ttttt ▪ ••••••• •• Wit ow • Peso , ••••• A typical example of Tin trawling through Just one of tile endOess supply of now& groups just gagging for subscribers MAY 1995 which will probably ask you if you want to subscribe to something (the name of the first newsgroup you entered in your newsgroups file). Hit the 'V key for each question to subscribe to those newsgroups. You should then get a window with a list of the newsgroups you have subscnbed to, with numbers by their left-hand side. These numbers represent the number of articles in each group. To enter a group and start reading you use the cursor keys to move up and down. and the right arrow key to enter. Then you will be at article level, so use the up and down cursor keys to move through the articles you have to read, and the return key to read one. If there is more text than will fit in the window, use the down cursor key to get to the next bit, and keep using It because that will move you to the next article in the thread once you have finished with the current one TWO-SIDED STORY A thread is a bit like a conversation in a newsgroup. One person starts it off, then another replies and so on. Moving through the thread ensures you get both sides of the story. You can come out of a thread by hitting the left arrow key. It you have subscribed to a binaries newsgroup you are going to want to join together several articles. save them as one piece and uudecode them. Tin can do this easily. If you have four articles that are numbered I0/31, [2/31 and [3/31in the subject line (or title), you can ignore the one that says10/31— that's just a description of the rest of the articles. For the others, make sure the cursor is on the [1/3] article and hit the key for 'tag'. This will move the cursor down a line and put a little number 1 next to the title of the [1/3]article. It the [2/3] article is next you can hit thel key • again and proceed onto the [3/3] article. If not, position the cursor on the [2/3] article and hit it. Once you have all three with the numbers 1, 2 and 3 respectively by their titles, you can hit the 's' key for 'save'. You Will then be asked what you want to save, so you should press the shift key down and hit the 't' key again for lagged articles. You will then be asked for a filename for the files. If they are a split uuencoded file you can just type 'temp' as a filename, as the individual files are unimportant. If the files themselves are important you can give them a descriptive name and Tin will automatically append a .1, .2, etc. And if these 0• 0 1 ':;:iZtar—""1 , peatet=or---zzt-- --k ••••• • .••••• !-•ramosi seit. " •E i n . •• =7 Everybody's getting in on the act. "Browsing the Beeb. It's not natural I tell you...' articles are uuencoded. Tin will let you uudecode them by choosing 'u' from the next set of options. If you have chosen to uudecode the files_ Tin will eventually ask you if you want to delete post-processed files, to which you will be able to happily answer yes. The files you have saved will appear in your Amitcp:usr/usernamernews directory. If you have read an article you want to reply to, you have two choices. You can choose to reply by e-mail to the author (by hitting •r' on the keyboard while reading the article), or you can follow up to the newsgroup (by hitting 'ft while reading the article). This will bring up your text editor containing all the text that was in the article (which can, and should in some cases. be deleted so you don't waste space) to which you can reply_ Once you have finished typing, you should save and exit, and Tin will check your article and let you either go back and edit it, forget it altogether or post it. When you have finished reading your news, you can quit Tin by repeatedly hitting the left arrow key until the Tin window disappears. You might also, at this juncture, want to run Trimnews in your bin directory. Eve put Trimnews into my tin script so that it asks me whether or not I want to trim my news articles every time I leave Tin, as follows: ksk 'On you mint to Trim Veils now iy0 1 )?' I t warn trisnevs else tndii Put these lines in before the end of the script, but after the line that starts tin.exe. There is so much more to discuss but l' running out of space here. so you'll have to explore mailing lists, batch tip, ping, finger. telnet and much more by yourselves. Have fun and don't get too frustrated. Finally. I'm just going to take a welldeserved opportunity to plug my little cont bution to making AmiTCP easier to use. It's called ArniTCPHelper and gives you a button-based interface for connecting to th Internet and using ftp and mail, etc. It at • gives you menu items to let you edit th venous config files I have mentioned in course of this article. I would also like to thank all those peep out there in net land who have helped me to the point where I could write this article. I'm not going to name them here (I don't wa to inflate their egos too much), but the know who they are, and they'll be the on helping you Out too.
