I have found this version of uqwk to be much superior to the standard
uqwk version 1.8: It runs faster and more efficiently and has useful
added features, for instance,
o Scoring, so you can filter news BEFORE it arrives on your pc
o nntp authentication
o lots of bugfixes of the original
o Ability to grab news either from a local machine (same computer
uqwk runs on), or from a remote NNTP server
o Good Net Housekeeping Seal of Approval (GNKSA) validation of
usenet messages, done automatically
At my suggestion, Jeroen has included some pre-compiled binaries, ready
to run, for those who might have trouble compiling uqwk from source code,
on their machines. He included versions of uqwk for:
IRIX 5.3 and [4]IRIX 6.2, SunOS 4.1.4, Solaris 2.6 (SunOS 5.6),
Linux 2.0.0 (i80x86 only)
Also available is the GNKSA library, which is/can be compiled into uqwk.
It automatically checks news messages against usenet standards of syntax
header content, etc. This should help prevent yarn's data-base from blowing
up, as it sometimes does when receiving news messages with wierd syntax,
content, or control characters. The gnksa library and sample utilities
are available at:

Finally, for those who never heard of uqwk: It is a Unix command line
program that runs on a Unix shell. It collects and organizes unread news
and mail into a SOUP ``packet'' which can be downloaded to your PC as a
single file, and imported into yarn.
