Short: Newsgroup editor Faast+low mem usage OS2+
Author: Mike@redrobe.demon.co.uk (Mike Redrobe)
Uploader: Mike@redrobe.demon.co.uk (Mike Redrobe)
Type: comm/news
This was written for two reasons:
1) I wanted to write a useful program as my first
Amiga project
(I'm new to amiga programming - but I've been
programming in C for years...)
2) Other newsgroup editors I tried were very slow,
or couldnt handle the full newsgroup list
(15,000+ groups and rising...)
This loads 15,000 groups in 5 seconds on my A4000/030,
and can do "simple" searches on it in about 3 seconds
...(much)more complex searches can take up to 30 seconds or so..
Any Amiga with:
OS 2.04 or above (gadtools)
Memory: depends on what you do....
for a minimal active list....about 150k total memory usage,...
but for a 424k active file (15,000 groups!), it uses up 780k ,
or 1.1meg if you do large searches...
Note however, I designed it for speed first,memory consumption second...
this may change if enough people complain....
