This is the NEWS load module that handles all communication with
NEWS-servers. <P>

This module is implemented by <A HREF="HTNews.c">HTNews.c</A>, and it
is a part of the <A HREF="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Library/">W3C
Reference Library</A>.

</PRE>

We define the max NNTP line as rather long as the result coming from a
<CODE>XOVER</CODE> command needs it. If the line is longer then it is
chopped, but we will almost have received the information we're
looking for.

<PRE>
#define MAX_NEWS_LINE		512

extern HTEventCallback HTLoadNews;

<H2>Setting Number of Articles to Show</H2>

You can set the number of news articles to be shown at a time. If you
set the number to none (<CODE>0</CODE>) then <EM>all</EM> articles are
shown at once. This is also the default behavior.

<PRE>
extern BOOL HTNews_setMaxArticles (int new_max);
extern int HTNews_maxArticles (void);
</PRE>

<H2>Handling the News Host</H2>

The default news host is "news" but you can get ans set the value here.

<PRE>
extern BOOL HTNews_setHost (CONST char * newshost);
extern CONST char *HTNews_host (void);
extern void HTFreeNewsHost (void);
</PRE>

#endif /* HTNEWS_H */
