The charter of news.software.b is to provide a forum for discussion of
B-news compatible news transport software, specifically including C News
and INN (InterNetworkNews).  The group is unmoderated; participation is
open to all.

A companion posting, "News.software.b Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)"
<software_b_faq_770454615@nominil.lonesome.com>, complements
this one by covering topics that frequently recur on this group.
Yet another posting, "C News Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)"
<software_b_cnews_770454615@nominil.lonesome.com>, provides
information about commonly encountered dilmemmas specifically related
to the C News package.

Related postings are maintained by Tom Limoncelli <tal@Warren.MENTORG.COM>:
"INN FAQ Part 1/4: General Information"; "INN FAQ Part 2/4: Debugging Guide
& Tutorial"; "INN FAQ Part 3/4: Operational and Misc. Questions"; and "INN
FAQ Part 4/4: Appendix A: Norman's install guide".  Another is maintained
by Rob Robertson <rob@agate.Berkeley.EDU> and entitled "FAQ:  Overview
database / NOV General Information".

(Another set is being drafted by Ian Phillipps <ian@unipalm.co.uk> for
news.admin.technical; at this point this is a "work in progress".)

All these articles are repeated periodically for the benefit of new readers.

This posting, like much of Usenet, is maintained on a purely volunteer
basis.  I welcome reactions, additions, and corrections via email at
