NAME
       newsgroups - a program to list unsubscribed newsgroups.

SYNOPSIS
       newsgroups pattern flag

DESCRIPTION
       The newsgroups program compares your .newsrc file with the file of active newsgroups, and prints a list of unsubscribed newsgroups matching
       pattern.  If the second argument "flag" is present, only newsgroups not found in your .newsrc are listed, and the display is not paged.	If
       the  second  argument  is  missing,  the  display  is paged, and an additional list of unsubscribed newsgroups occurring in your .newsrc is
       printed.

ENVIRONMENT
       DOTDIR  Where to find your .newsrc, if not in your home directory.

	       Default: $HOME

       HOME    Your home directory.

	       Default: $LOGDIR

       LOGDIR  Your home directory if HOME is undefined.

FILES
       /usr/lib/news/active or a reasonable facsimile
       ${DOTDIR-{$HOME-$LOGDIR}}/.newsrc

SEE ALSO

DIAGNOSTICS
BUGS
       The flag argument is a kludge.
