Short: Updates Active file from ".next" files.
Author: leo@hampschl.demon.co.uk (Leo Davidson)
Uploader: leo@hampschl.demon.co.uk (Leo Davidson)
Type: comm/news
Purpose
-------
Updates the 'Active' file (eg "UULIB:Active") using the ".next" files put
in each newsgroup directory by most news unbatchers.
Written so that I could continue using PurgeNews after going back to a
batched news system.
Features of note
----------------
o It displays a nice table of the groups, the highest and lowest messages,
and the total number of messages.
o It uses a nice proportional progress bar to show you what's going on while
it writes out the new 'Active' file.
o Backs up your old 'Active' file in case something goes wrong.
o It's in ARexx so you can customise it however you want. (I could write it
in Assembler, but this type of thing is very suited to ARexx, so why
bother?)
o What the hell else do you want from something like this?...
