Announce: Yarn Who?

Hi there Yarnsters!

I've coded a small Yarn util some of you might be interested in: YWHO.

It's sort of a mini-database keeper to index notes about Usenet persons,
whose articles you often find yourself reading.

It's very simple - you just pipe an article by the person in question to
YWHO, using the Yarn pipe feature '|'. Now YWHO brings up this persons
specific textfile in your favorite DOS text editor, and you can add any
comments you have as well as read things you might have forgotten about
the person. The piped article is also loaded into the editor for
cut'n'paste.

You can download YWHO from my homepage (URL in sig). If you decide to
check it out, please send me a mail though, as I would like to know how
many will be interested.

(Some of you may remember I once proposed this feature for Yarn itself.
Well - YWHO is usable, but I'd still prefer a real implementation
without external programs.)

Cheers,
