NAME

       papercut - simple and extensible NNTP server

SYNOPSIS

       papercut [[-f] | [--foreground]]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the papercut command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does
       not have a manual page.

       papercut is a simple NNTP server. Its main objective is to integrate existing web based
       message board software with an Usenet front-end.

       However, using Python, new article containers can be added to store and retrieve messages
       from various source and formats.

       Please note that Papercut is only a NNTP server, not a full-featured news transport
       system. It does not handle newsfeeding or other usual news software features.
