Short: Fast & low memory UUCP news unbatcher Author: Dan Cannon Uploader: Dan Cannon 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. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 2803 1292 53.9% 26-May-95 12:52:32 DanNews10.readme 2457 1155 52.9% 29-May-95 13:52:02 +History 463 240 48.1% 24-May-95 09:41:18 +History.info 7758 3330 57.0% 29-May-95 16:32:52 +ReadMe 463 237 48.8% 24-May-95 09:41:18 +ReadMe.info 628 266 57.6% 24-May-95 09:42:20 +UUC.info 14736 8612 41.5% 24-May-95 15:54:56 +DanNews -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 29308 15132 48.3% 17-Jun-95 18:17:34 7 files
