Subject: tin: tin for windows howto (english)

Any volunteers for proofreading/testing (Windows 95 and NT 4.0 have been
reported to work, anyone with Windows 98 around?) the following text?
<http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~uafr/windows/tin_cygwin.txt>

|     *tin-981225*
|     --------------
|
|     - what is it?
|       - A Usenet newsreader
|
|     - system
|       - Windows 95, should work on NT, too
|
|     - Cygwin
|       - for B20
|
|     - preliminaries
|       - install ncurses first
|           - get tin source (e.g from ftp://ftp.tin.org/tin)
|
|     - configure
|       - export CC=gcc
|       - export CFLAGS="-DLOCAL_CHARSET=850"  (or 477 depends on "mode con")
|       - ./configure --with-ncurses --libdir=/usr/local/lib --disable-locale
|
|     - make
|       - cd src
|       - make
|
|     - make install
|       - does not work. Just copy tin.exe from the src dir to a directory in
|         your path.
|       - add to your profile:
|          export NNTPSERVER=your.nntp.server
|          export TERM=pcansi
|
|     - notes
|       - You also need an editor. vim works fine.
|       - tin needs an /etc/passwd
|                username:x:500:100:Real Name:/home:/bin/sh.exe
|       - in autoexec or in cygnus.bat
|              set HOME=c:\home
|              set USER=username
|
|     - package availability
|       - on <site name>
|       - in <path>
|       - as <package name>
