;;; Commentary:

;; This implementation is tested on both 1.2a and 1.5 version of the
;; NNTP package.

;; Troubleshooting of NNTP
;;
;; (1) Select routine may signal an error or fall into infinite loop
;;  while waiting for the server response. In this case, you'd better
;;  not use byte-compiled codes but original source. If you still have
;;  a problems with it, set the variable `nntp-buggy-select' to t.
;;
;; (2) Emacs may hang up while retrieving headers since too many
;;  requests have been sent to the NNTP server without reading their
;;  replies. In this case, reduce the number of the requests sent to
;;  the server at one time by setting the variable
;;  `nntp-maximum-request' to a lower value.
;;
;; (3) If the TCP/IP stream (open-network-stream) is not supported by
;;  emacs, compile and install `tcp.el' and `tcp.c' which is an
;;  emulation program of the stream. If you modified `tcp.c' for your
;;  system, please send me the diffs. I'll include some of them in the
;;  future releases.

;;; Code:

(defvar nntp-server-hook nil
  "*Hooks for the NNTP server.
If the kanji code of the NNTP server is different from the local kanji
code, the correct kanji code of the buffer associated with the NNTP
server must be specified as follows:

\(setq nntp-server-hook
      (function
       (lambda ()
	 ;; Server's Kanji code is EUC (NEmacs hack).
	 (make-local-variable 'kanji-fileio-code)
	 (setq kanji-fileio-code 0))))

If you'd like to change something depending on the server in this
hook, use the variable `nntp-server-name'.")

(defvar nntp-large-newsgroup 50
  "*The number of the articles which indicates a large newsgroup.
If the number of the articles is greater than the value, verbose
messages will be shown to indicate the current status.")


(defvar nntp-buggy-select (memq system-type '(fujitsu-uts))
  "*Non-nil if your select routine is buggy.
If the select routine signals error or fall into infinite loop while
waiting for the server response, the variable must be set to t.  In
case of Fujitsu UTS, it is set to t since `accept-process-output'
doesn't work properly.")

(defvar nntp-maximum-request 400
  "*The maximum number of the requests sent to the NNTP server at one time.
If Emacs hangs up while retrieving headers, set the variable to a
lower value.")

If it is a number, dots are displayed per the number.")
