*> Assuming you have shell access to your account (a pretty good bet, if you
*> are using UQWK) go to a shell prompt and type:
*>
*> "which inews" (question marks not included)
*>
*> The system should respond with the location of your system's inews file.
*> It is part of the standard UNIX mailing software that UQWK looks for when
*> posting news to the server (You should notice that you won't get this
*> message when sending email).
*>
*> When you have the location of the inews file, get back in touch with your
*> sysadmins, and tell them to recompile uqwk, this time editing the header
*> file to provide the correct location of inews. Note that inews appears
*> several times in the header files, and ALL occurrances of it must be
*> changed to make uqwk work properly.
*>
*> Good luck!
