and select the NGService->Read option from the services menu. NGService will launch, and bring up a window that will show you the contents.
Used for
-------------------------
NGService actually arose from the number of complaints on the Net about NewsGrazer posts, and those who don't want to use NewsGrazer, or want to be able to view NewsGrazer postings at home, where they don't have enough CNews set up to run NewsGrazer.
It also served the purpose of introducing me to NeXT services, and cells in Text Objects.
Which NeXT release your software was developed under
NGService was implemented under 2.x, and the only change that was needed to get it running under 3.0 was to have Project Builder convert the IB.proj file to the new PB.project format, and then change one line in the Makefile.preamble...
In 2.x you would use
LDFLAGS =
and in 3.0 you use
OTHER_LDFLAGS =
It doesn't use any of the new 3.0 features, but it does work under it!
Comments
--------
Its sloppy, but it works.
There is also a good part of the code that is written to implement the creation of NewsGrazer postings. However thats not hooked-up/tested/ or finished.
I wrote this months ago, and made it available at the usual FTP sites. However I didn't release the source code for it. This is the first time that I have made the source available, and I hope that it is useful for someone.

You can't sell it. And if you pass it along, please make sure that my name and email address stays in both the source, and in the info box.
