GNG is a an OS/2 freeware text-mode program to get a list of all news
groups via NNTP. It comes with full C++ source code, but requires
OCL120.ZIP (a free class library for OS/2) and the IBM TCP/IP
Programmer's Toolkit to compile. This version was compiled under
Borland C++ v2.0 for OS/2, so doesn't require emx.dll.
This version no longer has a limit on the number of groups that can be
sorted, which was previously 20,000. At the rate that groups are being
added it probably wouldn't have hit the limit for a couple of months,
however, I got 19,000 (exactly) groups the other day.

The page still says 0.03, but the link is correct, gng004.zip. :-)
