Servers settings
As a client application, Xnews must be connected to the Xmedia Server in order to be able
to access templates and pages stored on the network. It must also be connected to the Data
Server in order to access the data specified by the templates. The information entered in
the Server settings tells Xnews which machines hosts the servers.
When Xnews is initially launched the Server tab is the first one displayed. Xnews cannot run
