1Warning: The compression scheme provided here is not compatible with the
22.10.2 version. You must get all the sites you communicate with to run
3this version of unbatch.c. Otherwise, your compressed news will
4be thrown away. On the otherhand, you no longer need to have cunbatch
5on the remote system.

7Compress V4.0 is provided with this release. It is not compatible with
8the 2.0 compress, however, if the -C flag is given to sendbatch, compress
9will generate V2.0 output. This program can decompress either format
10automatically.
11
12Note that sendbatch -c has replaced csendbatch. sendbatch now takes
13several flags. See the man page for details.

17This release (2.10.3 4.3bsd) is for the 4.3bsd tape. The code is known
18to work on 4.[123]bsd vaxes. It seems works on USG & V7 systems but has not
19been extensively tested. There are certainly problems on Eunice systems.
20DO NOT use this with VMS defined, you will regret it.

22In any case, please mail me any problems you have.
