Announcement of GETNEWS
-----------------------

What it is:
it's a DOS-application, using a packetdriver

What it does: 
GETNEWS collects new news from all newsgroups and all 
newsservers you define in a simple textfile named 'groups.id' and
writes all articels to a single file, for later use by an offline-
reader. GETNEWS uses 'nntpget.exe', a programm I found on 
biochemistry.cwru.edu to query the newsservers.

GETNEWS is totally free. I add the pascal source, so you may
modify the articel-delimters ('rnews-header') if this format 
does'nt work with your offline reader. I also add 'COMTOOL',
a small dialer/terminalprogramm. It may be useful if you connect
to your newserver with slip.

You may ftp it from:
mvmpc9.ciw.uni-karlsruhe.de (129.13.118.9) /public/nos/getnews.zip
(ws_ftp-users should select 'ka9q' as servertype!)

Enjoy!
