getnglist

Short:        Downloads newsgrouplists from newsservers ( very fast ) needs *YAM2NN*
Author:       cyborg@eanet.de
Type:         comm/news
Requires:     yam2nn, yam, rot3d.library ( included )
Architecture: m68k-amigaos


This little tool, downloads and sorts newsgrouplists from servers normally much faster
then yam2nnconfig. Normally means, that it depends from the given list . If this
list is presorted it slows the whole process down, but it`s still faster then
yam2nnconfig.

Options: 

    getnglist [CHECK] [NOSORT] [PORT=nntpport] newsservername

    CHECK does only download the list to t:newsgroups to see how fast and how
          many newsgroups there are
    
    NOSORT disables the sortalgorith to gain full speed
    
    PORT ( optional ) sets the used tcp port for the nntp server ( default = 119 )
    
    newsservername ie. news.cs.tu-berlin.de


Have fun..
