| # 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! | |
