Creating a Virtual Server
-------------------------

   If you're saving lots of articles in the cache by using persistent
articles, you may want to create a virtual server to read the cache.

   First you need to add a new server.  The `a' command does that.  It
would probably be best to use `nnspool' to read the cache.  You could
also use `nnml' or `nnmh', though.

   Type `a nnspool <RET> cache <RET>'.

   You should now have a brand new `nnspool' virtual server called
`cache'.  You now need to edit it to have the right definitions.  Type
`e' to edit the server.  You'll be entered into a buffer that will
contain the following:

     (nnspool "cache")

   Change that to:

     (nnspool "cache"
              (nnspool-spool-directory "~/News/cache/")
              (nnspool-nov-directory "~/News/cache/")
              (nnspool-active-file "~/News/cache/active"))

   Type `C-c C-c' to return to the server buffer.  If you now press
<RET> over this virtual server, you should be entered into a browse
buffer, and you should be able to enter any of the groups displayed.
