Subject: Reading in an arbitrary .newsrc file?
Date: 03 Dec 1999 10:44:24 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <vuor9h4yqp3.fsf@csa.bu.edu> (raw)

This is probably a dumb question, but, well.  :-)

I have an old .newsrc file (from the same news server that I'm
currently using, so there's no problem there) that I'd like to
incorporate into my current .newsrc.eld.  In other words, I'd like to
suck in (technical term) all of the groups from that old .newsrc file,
preserving their current status (articles read, etc.) in my
.newsrc.eld.

Is this possible, or am I just being perverse?  I'm using gnus 5.8.0,
btw.
