Please test this before I unleash it on the general users:

	news://news.delorie.com/comp.os.msdos.djgpp

The purpose of this is to allow occasional lurking in djgpp-land,
without the overhead of all the mail, and without worrying about your
ISP expiring messages more than a few hours old (mine does).

Yes, I know the mail archive browser can serve this purpose, but the
news protocol is much more efficient.

Posting is not allowed (they can mail to djgpp@) and messages are kept
(currently) for a week.
