ICC Help: news

Command:  news
Examples:  news -- Lists the most recent 10 titles of news items.
 news 75 -- Shows the text of news item number 75
 news 50-70 -- Lists the titles of items 50 to 70.

The "news" command allows you to read the news items telling about new ICC features, changes or important events. A list of the latest files (only the ones created since you last logged in) is shown to you when you login.

We receive lots of requests to add news items about tournaments, simuls, and many other chess events unrelated to ICC. We're sorry, but we can't place such items in the ICC news, because we have a large number of ICC-related news items. Non-ICC news can be posted to rec.games.chess.misc. Thanks for your understanding.

help event shows the message that you see when you log in. help moed-unreg shows the message that unregistered players see.

The "mailnews" command allows you to email any news item to yourself. The "subscribe" variable allows you to receive automatic emails of any new news items that are created. See help mailnews for details.
