The Future of RexxNews
Some features that should be added soon to RexxNews include:
o Automatic reconnection to the newsserver in case of timeout.
o Posting news -- the ability to post and followup articles
o Subscribed/Unsubscribed groups -- this will be implemented with
NEXTGROUP/LASTGROUP commands that will move between groups in
the order they appear in the newsrc file.
o Multiple NEWSRC files -- enabling RexxNews to be easily used
with several NNTP servers for those who need this ability.
o ROT13 decryption -- A 'simple' encryption used in several
newsgroups to hide potentially offensive material.
o Optional use of Visual REXX for listing and choosing articles.
Suggestions for other features/improvements are welcome! Send them to
