Short: Fast & low memory NNTP/UUCP news unbatcher. Author: Dan Cannon Uploader: Dan Cannon Type: comm/uucp DanNews - another throbbing Blender Software (BS) production ------------------------------------------------------------ This is DanNews, a NNTP/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 1.2 -> 1.3 ------------------ - Leo asked for it to show how far its got whilst unbatching, so I added the BLIP option. - Tez asked for it to unbatch articles with only headers and no body, so it does that now as well. - It won't complain any more if you want it to delete .overview files and it can't find them. - Think I finally got rid of the bug where it locked up every once in a while. - Tidied it up and re-compiled with optimisation on, which means that it should be even faster. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 628 257 59.0% 23-Jul-95 12:32:40 DanNews13.info 3537 1602 54.7% 23-Jul-95 12:32:40 +History 463 240 48.1% 23-Jul-95 12:32:40 +History.info 8266 3484 57.8% 23-Jul-95 12:32:40 +ReadMe 463 237 48.8% 23-Jul-95 12:32:40 +ReadMe.info 628 266 57.6% 23-Jul-95 12:32:40 +UUC.info 15244 9023 40.8% 23-Jul-95 12:32:40 +DanNews -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 29229 15109 48.3% 23-Jul-95 15:04:38 7 files
