1. Grab a copy of my Get News Groups (Gng) program from my page below.
(I just released gng006.zip about 5 minutes ago). :-)

2. Download a list of all newsgroups from your newsserver with Gng.

3. grep clari.net groups.txt > clari.net.txt
(grep can be found most anywhere).

4. cut and paste and use macros with a good text editor.
(I use Qedit/TseJr).

I usually use a text editor to add new groups to %home%\newsrc and
%yarn%\newsrc, then run newgroup.exe from a .cmd file. I think all
newgroup.exe does is add groups to the %yarn%\active file. YOu can
automate this from a .cmd file,

newgroup group1 7
newgroup ... .
newgroup ... .
newgroup ... .
