has been tested but it should currently work with at least 8.4. I won't
make any effort to maintain compatibility with versions
of postgres earlier than 9.1.
+
+The basic server configuration is done in the manner of Net::Server.
+
+Provided example newsd program for how to call the module
+and get a running server.
+
+For the Postgres storage to work, there must be a database
+named 'news', create it user news and load the schema.sql
+file into that database. See or execute the make schema target.
+
+You will probably want the regular set of newsgroups maintained
+by ISC. A 'make activesync' will download and install them
+into the database.
+
+You can fire up a test server with 'make testserver', and
+the 'make test' target will start and use a test server.
+These all use the existing database, so if you post against
+the testing server, the articles will persist.
+
+The test server runs on the default Net::Server port of 20203,
+so your newsreader needs to hit that port. I use slrn,
+
+NNTPSERVER=localhost:20203 slrn -C -f ~/.jnewsrc --create
+
+Will create the newsrc for slrn and you can post a message.
