NAME

   kitpost - posts distribution kits

SYNOPSIS

   kitpost  [ -hrV ] [ -H file ] [ -D desc ] [ -m dest1,dest2 ] [ kits ] [
   newsgroups ]

DESCRIPTION

   Kitpost posts distribution kits  made  by  makedist  to  some  (source)
   newsgroups specified on the command line. If you do not specify any kit
   list, then all the kits are sent. Otherwise, only  the  specified  kits
   will be (re)sent.

   A  kit  list may include ranges, 1-10 specifying kits 1 through 10, and
   5- meaning kits 5 up to the last one. You may also specify kit  numbers
   by  separating  them  with  commas or spaces, and even mix with ranges,
   such as: 1 3 5-7 9.

   Kitpost ensures correct References: lines are inserted in your postings
   so  that  all  parts  but the first point to the root article. Threaded
   newsreaders and end-users traditionally appreciate that.

OPTIONS

   The following options are recognized by kitpost:

   -h        Print help message and exit.

   -m dest1,destn
             Sends kits by e-mail to the specified recipients. This option
             may  be  used  in  conjunction  with newsgroup posting. It is
             mainly intended for sites where direct posting to a moderated
             newsgroup  is  not  allowed  by inews. You may thus send your
             kits to the newsgroup moderator in a form that will ease  the
             whole posting process.

   -r        Signals a repost.

   -D description
             Specify  a  description  string  that  will  be  added to the
             subject line. Usually a brief sentence (less  than,  say,  40
             characters).

   -H file   Specify a file to be used as header introduction in the first
             part of your posting. Usually the root README file.

   -V        Print version number and exit.

BUGS

   Article cross-referencing  is  properly  set-up  only  when  the  whole
   package is (re)posted in one batch.

   It  is not currently possible to set-up the article headers manually or
   better, interactively.
