- Version 1.00 18.III.95 -
By Ben Vost
This is a tool that should work with any Internet connection on the
Amiga that uses the UULIB: assign. It lets you pick and choose
newsgroups from a list and add them to your list for downloading. It
won't alter the NOS-startup script so you'll still have to edit that
manually (move to AmiTCP :) ).
It was written using CanDo 2.0 and 3.0 and requires the supplied
cando.library (in libs:). Sorry about the *enormous* ASCII Art logo,
but I just got Photogenics and I wanted to try it out. :)
Requirements
------------
As far as I know it should run on any Amiga with an AmiTCP
installation (and possibly a Demon account :)). I have tested on an
Amiga 3000 and 3000T running WB3.1 and also an A4000/040 running
WB3.0. I don't think that there is a reason why it shouldn't run on
an earlier operating system, but you do need the XHelvetica/11 font
in your fonts: drawer for it to look good (it might not work without
it). The XHelvetica font comes with Magic WB amongst other things. If
you can't find it I can EMail it to you...
You must also have the file newsgroups in UULIB:
Buttons
-------
Newsgroups Source:
This button brings up a file requester where you can choose a new
source for your newsgroups file.
Newsgroup Dest.:
This button brings up a file requester where you can choose your
destination newsgroup (ie. newsgroups.* file).
Add:
The add button adds the currently selected entry in the left-hand
list to your newsgroups file. It uses the "Days" slider setting to
set the number of days for trimnews.
Delete:
The delete button removes the currently selected entry from your
newsgroups list.
Save:
the Save button saves the newsgroups list on the right-hand side as
your actual newsgroups list. If you don't click on this button, none
of the changes you make will be saved.
Tooltypes and their meanings:
-----------------------------
WindowX Gives the final x position of the Group Editor window
on the screen.
WindowY Gives the final y position of the Group Editor window
on the screen.
DONOTWAIT Standard commodity stuff.
Grouplist This is the complete path for a newsgroup list like
Demon's "Active" one which can be found at
ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/news. You can also stop
nntptransfer from deleting the new newsgroups file
that it downloads every time you download news and
point group editor at that. (This is why I wrote
Group Editor:) ).
Menus:
------
Project Menu
About This shows you what version of Group Editor you are
running and my name and email address. If you
register this is where your personalisation will
appear.
About CanDo This gives some information about CanDo v3.
Quit Surprisingly enough, this actually quits out of
Group Editor.
To Do List:
-----------
Add a file requester to make choosing a new newsgroup file easier.
Also let the user choose a newsgroups.* file to go along with
AmiTCPHelper.
A search field so that you don't have to wade through all 15,000
lines worth of newsgroups...

------------
