Short: Fast & low memory UUCP news unbatcher
Author: Dan Cannon <dan@blender.demon.co.uk>
Uploader: Dan Cannon <dan@blender.demon.co.uk>
Type: comm/uucp
DanNews - another throbbing Blender Software (BS) production
------------------------------------------------------------
This is DanNews, a UUCP news unbatcher. Unlike RNews it's fast and it only
takes as much memory as you let it.
The bad points are that it can't send articles on to other sites and it can't
handle compressed batch files. That doesn't matter if you get your news feed
through NNTP but it's not so good if you get your news through UUCP.
What you need
-------------
Kickstart 2 or above, a news set up that uses the UUNEWS: way of storing news
articles, and a batch file (natch).
Version 0.4 -> 1.0
------------------
- Re-wrote the the file stuff to make it faster. Can't really tell if it is
or not, but I can't be arsed to change it back.
- Added support for the control group.
- Gets newsgroup list from UULIB:DanNewsGroups as well as UULIB:newsgroups,
so you can define extra groups that you don't want your newsreader to show
(makes the control groups easier to manage).
- Fixed CTRL-C memory leak.
- Made error messages clearer.
