NAME

       newsgroups - a program to list unsubscribed newsgroups.

SYNOPSIS

       newsgroups pattern flag

DESCRIPTION

       The  newsgroups  program compares your .newsrc file with the file of active newsgroups, and prints a list
       of unsubscribed newsgroups matching pattern.  If the second argument "flag" is present,  only  newsgroups
       not  found  in your .newsrc are listed, and the display is not paged.  If the second argument is missing,
       the display is paged, and an additional list of unsubscribed newsgroups  occurring  in  your  .newsrc  is
       printed.

ENVIRONMENT

       DOTDIR  Where to find your .newsrc, if not in your home directory.

               Default: $HOME

       HOME    Your home directory.

               Default: $LOGDIR

       LOGDIR  Your home directory if HOME is undefined.

FILES

       /usr/lib/news/active or a reasonable facsimile
       ${DOTDIR-{$HOME-$LOGDIR}}/.newsrc

DIAGNOSTICS

BUGS

       The flag argument is a kludge.
