The purpose of this program is to automatically download and uudecode files from newsgroups via a winsock connection. If you've found this program, then you probably know what this means, so I won't go into detail. Newsbot will attempt to piece together multi-part files.
Installation:
1.Unzip the distribution archive into the directory of your choice.
Running:
1.Run NEWSBOT.EXE -- this can be done in various ways - from the Win-95 command prompt, the Windows Explorer (and/or file manager), the Windows Run Program command, etc. 2.On your first session, you'll be prompted for a "News Host Name". This is the name of your news host, and should be given to you by your ISP (internet service provider). 3.On your first session, you'll be prompted for a "download path". This is the path where you want the files you download to be placed. 4.Once NewsBot is loaded, you'll want to add some newsgroups. This is done with the "Add" button. You'll need to know the names of the groups you want; you might want to consult SAMPLE_G.TXT for some sample newsgroup names. 5.Press the "CONNECT" button to start everything. All else should be mostly automatic from here on. Feel free to tinker around with the menu items
