- Subject: gonnrp - gopher to nnrp gateway (nov threaded)
- Date: 7 Jun 1993 16:16:34 -0500
- Organization: Educational Computing Network

-
- I have rewritten gonntp for use with INN/nov. I call it gonnrp. For
- non INN people nnrp is the newsreading part of nntp in INN. Gonnrp
- does not need the tin index files like gonntp did. Note that it will
- work without nov or with regular nntp it just will be slower as it
- threads with xhdr commands and INN with nov has very very very fast
- responce to xhdr. It also has other improvements that are listed
- below:
-
- gonnrp breaks newsgroups down into menus at each '.'.
- Example:
-
- Internet Gopher Information Client v1.12-ecn
-
- clari - ClariNet UPI wireservice news (gonnrp)
-
- --> 1. *** REQUIRED READING *** ClariNet Copyright Information ***.
- 2. biz - Business/
- 3. canada - Canadian Standard Broadcast Wire Service/
- 4. feature - /
- 5. local - Regional news/
- 6. nb - NewsBytes computer industry news service/
- 7. net - News and discussion about ClariNet/
- 8. news - /
- 9. sfbay - /
- 10. sports - /
- 11. streetprice - A group for prices of computer products. (Moderated)/
- 12. tw - TechWire, technology and topics related to technology/
-
- This makes smaller more readable menus.
-
- Other gonnrp features:
-
- o gonnrp understands newsgroups names with '_'s in them.
-
- o gonnrp reads a dbm version of the newsgroups file to put the
- purposes of the newsgroups in the menus.
-
- o gonnrp threads newsgroups. (Each thread is a menu)
