I've been messing with getting some old usenet posts imported
into rslight, and found a reasonably simple way to get it done.

What I have dates from around 1981-1991, but importing them all
would take me a long time. I'm just messing with it right now
to make sure it works ok. It does, just not automated (yet).

Attached is a pic from an aricle dated 24 May, 1983

I apologize to all for my commercial message regarding a
program called GRAFPRN. I'm very new to this network
and was totally unaware of protocol. Ignorance is not
an excuse - I'll not do it again.
