NAME

       papercut - simple and extensible NNTP server

SYNOPSIS

       papercut [[-f] | [--foreground]]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the papercut command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.

       papercut is a simple NNTP server. Its main objective is to integrate
       existing web based message board software with an Usenet front-end.

       However, using Python, new article containers can be added to store and
       retrieve messages from various source and formats.

       Please note that Papercut is only a NNTP server, not a full-featured
       news transport system. It does not handle newsfeeding or other usual
       news software features.
