kitpost - posts distribution kits

       Raphael Manfredi <Raphael.Manfredi@pobox.com>

       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.

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: 135-79.

       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.

       The following options are recognized by kitpost:

       -h        Print help message and exit.

       -mdest1,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.

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

       -Hfile   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.
