NAME

       nfxmit, nfrcv - notesfile networking programs

SYNOPSIS

       nfxmit -dsite [ -r ] [ -a ] [ -i ] [ -t date-spec ] [ -f file ] topic [ ... ]

       nfrcv topic fromsystem

DESCRIPTION

       Nfxmit  and nfrcv implement networking of notesfiles.  The nfxmit program packages eligible new articles and sends them to a remote system.
       Nfrcv is the receiving end of this team.

       Nfxmit sends the specified notesfiles to the site specified with the -d option.	The -r option specifies that a request	should	be  queued
       for  the  remote  site  to  transmit updates from its copies of the notesfiles sent.  The -r option is used only if the other site does not
       automatically queue updates of the notesfile.

       Specify -a to have articles which originated in news(1) sent.  News(1)-originated articles will usually reach each system via the news pro-
       gram.

       The  -i option indicates that nfxmit is to send articles to the destination that it normally would not send.  These articles are those that
       were written there or were received at the local site from that particular site.  The -i option is separate from the  timestamp	functions.
       Articles  are  first  selected  on the basis of the time received and criteria for having passed through news or the destination system are
       applied later.

       A timestamp of the last transmission of each notesfile to each system is maintained. This is used for determining the notes to send.  If  a
       different timestamp is desired, use the -t option.  The supplied timestamp is used for this transfer and the stored timestamp is updated.

       Specify	-f  myfile  on	the  command line to have nfxmit read myfile for a list of notesfiles to be sent.  This is useful if the number of
       notesfiles is too numerous to list on a single command line.  The shell meta-characters *, ?, [, and ] are recognized  in  both	the  topic
       parameter and the entries in myfile.

       Nfxmit  uses  uux(I)  to  invoke nfrcv on the remote system in order to process the incoming notes.  Non-uucp connections are supported and
       specified in the file /usr/spool/notes/.utilities/net.how
