This directory contains external protocol plugins for use with bystand.
(If there are other NNTP client programs that support connecting to local
programs communicating with stdin/stdout using the NNTP protocol, then you
can use them with those programs too.)

See bystand.doc for instructions about how to use this.

google.c - This program supports downloading articles from Google Groups,
which, unfortunately, may be mangled due to spam protection. The only
supported command is ARTICLE with a message ID; it does not support any
way to list articles, nor to post articles. (In bystand, this means that
only the "get" command can be used, and not "post" or "download".)

testpost.c - Used for testing the posting function, to ensure that dot
stuffing is working properly and other functions if any. All articles it
receives will be rejected, although they will also be copied to stderr in
the format received (stuffed, rather than unstuffed).
