Not as part of the standard distribution. The batching system right now is better than B News, but Rich has said he will be working on improving that part of INN in a future release. Christophe Wolfhugel has written a package that is very much like the C News batching system, however. You can find it at ftp://ftp.univ-lyon1.fr/pub/unix/news/inn/contrib/ Version 3 of Christophe’s package includes a shell version and a Perl version. Version 4, not yet planned will only be in Perl. The configuration file has evolved from older releases in order to support new features like “minimum batching”.
