[news.software.b] Want program to remove cross-postings

car@trux.UUCP (Chris Rende) (01/18/91)

I'm looking for a program that will remove cross-posted articles from
all but one newsgroup. (So that the article will only appear in one newsgroup).

I read two newsgroups where a LARGE percentage of the articles are cross-posted
between the two newsgroups. Quite often I end up scanning and reading the
same articles twice.

No, I don't use RN and don't want to use RN.

What I'd like to have is this:

$ rmcross rec.ham-radio rec.radio.shortwave

This command would remove (unlink) articles from rec.ham-radio which are
cross-posted into rec.radio.shortwave.

Thanks,

car.
