- GHN is a little tool to retrieve HTML files from servers and convert them to
- a text file. It's very useful if you want to read different News Sites offline,
- like Yahoo Lycosm InfoSeek etc.

- It's very easy to use, just setup one or more config files and start it. It will
- then either perform on just one config file, or all of them, your choice. After
- that it will start download and convert.{p}
- But there is a bad thing to, it's quite slow for modem users, and it doesn't say
- when it's finished the download so you can't disconnect until it's finnished with
- the convertion.

- The configuration is simple, just enter the URL, where in the file to start/stop and
- some other stuff...

- One great thing is that this tool is CLI based, no GUI. And for a tool that's this
- small, it's just plain stupid to have a GUI.
