.SH NOTE 
Use the batch function of suck and avoid lpost, this is
not the most efficient way of doing things.  It is kept solely
as a link to the past, since some people still use it.
It is not compiled nor installed by default.  To build and
install lpost, from the source directory, run:

.RS
 ./configure
.RE
.RS
 make install_lpost
.RE

.SH DESCRIPTION
.I lpost
(local post) reads stdin and pipes the articles to 
.I rnews,
typically found in /usr/lib/news. If it is located
elsewhere, change 
.I #define RNEWS
in
.I suck_config.h.
A typical way to use lpost is:

.RS
zcat output.gz | lpost
.RE

This could take a while, so be patient.
