I'm building an ARCHIVER FOR USENET NEWS ARTICLES and I'm LOOKING
FOR someone interested in developing a front-end in TURBO PASCAL
FOR WINDOWS (preferably) or VISUAL BASIC.

IT CAN BE USED BY 'rn' USERS (and 'trn' too, I suppose) because this is
the reader I use.
However if anyone out there wants to send me some demo files (i.e. saved
articles) so I can see the headers structure I could think of future 
versions...

It goes like this: you save a bunch of the daily news into a single file.
You transfer this file into your PC and THE ARCHIVING PROCESS begins:
the articles file is exploded into single files and these are archived
according to its subject. Log files are created for every newsgroup
referred in the articles to SHOW DISCUSSION THREADS. These logs will
also ease the process of conducting a SUBJECT SEARCH.

I'm using Turbo Pascal V6.0 to create small UNIX-like tools that 
work sequencially on the data in a pipeline-fashion.
I'm also using some of DOS 5.0 commands like SORT (on the assumption that
those boys at Microsoft worked hard on optimizing the sorting algorithm ;-).

The archiver will be distributed as PUBLIC DOMAIN SOFTWARE.


Please E-MAIL YOUR REPLY (or any comment/question you have) to the address
below as I usually don't read this group.

Thanks in advance.

Ricardo.
