# 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!
