The news utility prints news items stored in /var/news. When invoked without any arguments, news prints the name and timestamp of each current item followed by its contents, most recent first. An item is considered ``current'' if it has a modification time newer than the file ~/.news_time, a file that news creates if it does not exist. If that file does exist, news will update the timestamp on that file each time it is run. This version of the System V news utility was written by Jan Schaumann <jschauma@NetBSD.org> following the manual page from an IRIX system.
