Never missing the opportunity to do a plug, let me point out that if your
sys line is really complex, perhaps you should not use the SYS file and
feed with dynafeed instead.

With dynafeed you give the sites a .newsrc file, just like a reader on
your system, and the feeding program reads the .newsrc and feeds them
the "unread" news.   They can change the .newsrc without your intervention,
and in fact can have it updated on a daily basis form their arbitron reports.

It is on uunet, in the ~ftp/clarinet directory.  It's free in most cases.
