---------------------------------------------------------------------
News Harvest is an OS/2 Presentation Manger application for the automatic
retrieval of Usenet News binary articles.
The main design impetus was to create a Fire and Forget utility that would
process any number of groups over any number of servers with no
user-intervention. This is indeed the case -- once News Harvest is
configured with host and group information, a single command will run the
process to completion.
A binary news harvester with such simplicity of operation is often low on
features. This is not the case with News Harvest:
Multi-threaded, fully 32-bit executable.
o Completely automatic operation.
o Rebuilds multipart articles.
o Remembers past downloads.
o SPAM-keyword filtering.
o Fully configurable output paths.
o Handles abrupt disconnection (reconnects).
o Updates Netscape Navigator news file (optional).
o Very low, average CPU load.
o Comprehensive logging information (optional).
o WPS Drag and Drop.
o Output displayed in ordered and intuitive manner.
o On-the-fly changing of configuration.
o Complete online manual.
