Here's an Icon program that reads .newsrc files and cranks out
various sorts of information about them. You may find:
newscount /usr/*/.newsrc
to be entertaining.

.SH NAME
newscount \- read .newsrc files and produce information about them
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBnewscount\fP file ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fInewscount\fP reads each named .newsrc file and produces a count
of the articles read in each group. Two columns of output are
produced, the first column is the name of a group, the second is
the number of articles read in that group. Output is in alphabetical order
by group. If more than one .newsrc file
is named, there is a third column of output of the form \fIs/u\fP where
\fIs\fP the number of .newsrc files that are ``subscribed'' to the group
and \fIu\fP is the number that are ``unsubscribed''.
Groups that have been unsubscribed to in all named .newsrc files
are indicated by a trailing
exclamation point in parentheses. A final line of output indicates
the total number of articles read, the number of groups, and the
number of groups that are currently being subscribed to. If a named
file can not be opened, it is noted, but ignored.

.SH BUGS
\&.newsrc files with multiple entries for newsgroups produce
results that may not be correct.
.PP
newscount works with version 2.10 of B news. It may or may not work
with other versions of B news.
