I have been informed that some news sites do not tolerate checkgroups
messages well, so I will no longer send them. From now on I will post this
message once per month. Included below is a checkgroups message that you
can apply to your own system. Simply extract this message into a file,
delete everything up to and including the "--- Cut Here ---" line, and feed
the resulting file to ANU News with the command:

news/noscreen add file/genid file-name

where file-name is the name of the file you have created. News will create
a command file to correct any errors it finds in the configuration of the
vmsnet groups and mail it to the news manager.

If instead of the above command you enter:

news/noscreen add file/execute/genid file-name

News will create correct any errors it finds immediately, and mail to the
news manager a list of the actions it took.

NOTE: if you are running a version of ANU News earlier than 6.0-3 (or 6.0-2
with patches posted to the net on 1/31/91 by Bill Glass), the /GENID
qualfier is not supported, and is not needed. Simply leave it off.
