I am a new user of Ubuntu (10.11), and Pan 0.133.
I am a refugee from Windows XP, and a long time user of Forte Agent.
I subscribe to a paid News Server.
I want to try Pan, but I can’t figure how to do something. I want to
group selected news groups into two categories, one text, one binaries.
I want to use two different News Server IP addresses and/or names for
them. My paid news server does have multiple addresses.
Can I? How please?
To follow up on David's post, from a terminal window:
mkdir .pan2_text
mkdir .pan2_bin
echo "alias text_pan='$PAN_HOME=~/pan2_text pan'" >> .bashrc
echo "alias bin_pan='$PAN_HOME=~/pan2_bin pan'" >> .bashrc
Exit the window and then reopen it. Again, from a terminal window:
alias text_pan bin_pan
If you see the two alias definitions, then I didn't screw up! Treat the
aliases as "regular" commands:
text_pan
Use that when you want to access text groups and bin_pan when you want
binary groups.
Yes, it means actually typing in commands but that's ok; it won't kill
you and you might learn something... :)
