Short: Updates Active file from ".next" files. Author: leo@hampschl.demon.co.uk (Leo Davidson) Uploader: leo hampschl demon co uk (Leo Davidson) Type: comm/news Architecture: m68k-amigaos Purpose ------- Updates the 'Active' file (eg "UULIB:Active") using the ".next" files put in each newsgroup directory by most news unbatchers. Written so that I could continue using PurgeNews after going back to a batched news system. Features of note ---------------- o It displays a nice table of the groups, the highest and lowest messages, and the total number of messages. o It uses a nice proportional progress bar to show you what's going on while it writes out the new 'Active' file. o Backs up your old 'Active' file in case something goes wrong. o It's in ARexx so you can customise it however you want. (I could write it in Assembler, but this type of thing is very suited to ARexx, so why bother?) o What the hell else do you want from something like this?...
