# Newslist $Revision$
|
|
#
|
|
# Syntax:
|
|
# newslist [ -a ]
|
|
#
|
|
# This is a program to create a directory full of HTML pages
|
|
# which between them contain links to all the newsgroups available
|
|
# on your server.
|
|
#
|
|
# The -a option causes a complete list of all groups to be read from
|
|
# the server rather than just the ones which have appeared since last
|
|
# execution. This recreates the local list from scratch. Use this on
|
|
# the first invocation of the program, and from time to time thereafter.
|
|
# When new groups are first created they may appear on your server as
|
|
# empty groups. By default, empty groups are ignored by the -a option.
|
|
# However, these new groups will not be created again, and so will not
|
|
# appear in the server's list of 'new groups' at a later date. Hence it
|
|
# won't appear until you do a '-a' after some articles have appeared.
|
|
#
|
|
# I should really keep a list of ignored empty groups and re-check them
|
|
# for articles on every run, but I haven't got around to it yet.
|
|
#
|
|
# This assumes an NNTP news feed.
|
|
#
|
|
# Feel free to copy, distribute and modify this code for
|
|
# non-commercial use. If you make any useful modifications, let me
|
|
# know!
