U-Join release v1.4
Having problems trying to join a news group or searching for news
group in Thor, well.. this script solves that. It allows you to join a
group without having to load up the full list of news groups and also lets
you search for a keyword or a specific selection of groups to join,
again without loading up the full news group list. The Search option takes
around 20 secs on my 40Mzh 030 and uses very little memory (dependent
on the size of the list).
Please NOTE: This script uses the search command supplied on your
Workbench disk. Please make sure that this is in your C: path, or the
script will not work.
Usage: Just copy this script into Thor's rexx directory then assign
it to one of the function keys within Thor (the rest should be easy
:).
Config: You may need to edit "BBS0" in the first line and change it
to your main Internet conference. Also you can configure the
destination for temp file that the search command generates. And
last but not least, you can disable the search/join requester.
Thanks to everyone that pointed out bugs that my excellent Arexx
programming put in ;)
Hopefully this version is bug free, but, if you do find any bugs or have any
problems, please don't hesitate to contact me.
