NR/2 ASCII
V1.0
Copyright (C) 1995-1996

NR/2 ASCII is a 32-bit OS/2 command line utility.
It simply creates an ascii list of all newsgroups
from the file news.all generated by NewsReader/2.
This may be useful if you haven't exportet the list
of all groups to newsrc immediately after getting it online.
usage: nr2ascii news.all [news.asc]
news.all can be found in \tcpip\etc or \tcpip\etc\rnspool\USER
depending on the version of NewsReader/2 you are using.
news.asc is the output file.
If you want to sort the ascii list by name
and it is less than 64K in size, you can do this by
type news.asc | sort > news.srt
If it is larger you may consider bigsort
which can be found on Hobbes or other sites.
bigsort < news.asc > news.srt
This version of NR/2 ASCII may be used freely.

is charged for use, copying or distribution beyond reasonable handling
costs, no modifications are made and this license is not removed.
