NAME

       news - print news items

SYNOPSIS

       [items]

DESCRIPTION

       is used to keep the user informed of current events.  By convention, these events are described by files in the directory

       When invoked without arguments, prints the contents of all current files in most recent first, with each preceded by an appropriate header.
       stores the ``currency'' time as the modification date of a file named in the user's home directory  (the  identity  of  this  directory	is
       determined by the environment variable only files more recent than this currency time are considered ``current.''

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

	      Print all items, regardless of currency.
			The stored time is not changed.

	      Report the names of the current items without printing their contents,
			and without changing the stored time.

	      Report how many current items exist without printing
			their  names  or  contents,  and  without changing the stored time.  It is useful to include such an invocation of news in
			one's file, or in the system's

       All other arguments are assumed to be specific news items that are to be printed.

       If an interrupt is typed during the printing of a news item, printing stops and the next item is started.   Another  interrupt  within  one
       second of the first causes the program to terminate.
