Really, talk about wheel re-invention. Hey, here's an >idea, why not write a new OS? Who needs Linux? Who need z/OS? (etc) The irony of mentioning Linux there. But you probably won't get it :) >trn (and similar, such as "tin") does everything you need, so why not use It doesn't do everything I need. Given writing software to get and post articles on usenet isn't exactly arduous (providing you understand networking) and that it was a fun project to do , why shouldn't I write my own? >it? You'd spend a lot of time, just to get up to the level of >functionality of trn. Why go through the hassle? It wasn't hassle and I like being able to use unix tools to parse the downloaded articles.

Regarding the reinvention of the wheel, I see nothing bad in it as it helps you understand the wheel better than *any- body* who have never (re)invented one, and perhaps even to improve upon the original. Since there are so many good newsreaders for the PC and almost none for mobile devices, I wish I you wrote a GNKSA-compliant newsreader for Android with mobile-device specifics such as soft-reflowing of the text to screen width while keeping it hard-wrapped at 72-80 characters internally and in the posted article. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ http://preview.tinyurl.com/qcy6mjc [archived]
