Archive-name: fixnewsrc

[ There is no makefile, or readme.  This is a short shell script, and there's
  "README" information at the top.]

Description:
This program will take the long lines created by rn in a .newsrc file,
and shorten with them.  (mark all articles as read)
It takes lines that look like this:

    talk.politics.misc! 1-1234,1235-19210,19212,19245-20322

and changes it to:

    talk.politics.misc! 1-20322

This helps, as if you try to use 'vi', it chokes on lines longer
than 1024 characters or so.  Also, it probably speeds up the
start-up time of rn.
