- GRn can be used in two ways: online and offline. For online
- reading, it reads headers from the news server when it "scans
- the news tree". This is normally done at startup (which can be
- suppressed with the NoScan parameter) and whenever the "Rescan
- News Tree" button on the groups window is pressed.
-
- For offline reading, the news must already be on the local
- volume. It doesn't download the entire article and store it
- locally for you. That's the purpose for NNTPxfer (part of
- INetUtils).
