At our site we had a somewhat outdated active file so we got a lot of articles in newsgroup junk. I wrote a program to move articles from junk to their proper newsgroups as if though the newsgroups were there when the articles were received. Ambition level: - If the articles were received to *some* newsgroups duplicates are avoided. - If newsgroups are missing a question is asked *once* for each missing newsgroup if you want to create it. If the answer is 'no' you don't get repeated questions even if there is a lot of articles for the unwanted newsgroup. - Xref: header lines are fixed to reflect the new situation. - If there is no problem the articles are unlinked from the junk directory. Somebody recognizes the problem ? Perhaps someone has already made such a program ? My program (as entered from scratch today so there may be some bugs left) is posted to net.sources Johan Finnved jf@sal.UUCP ...!decvax!mcvax!enea!sal!jf
