***********************************

1.  What is NewsGrabber?

	NewsGrabber is a program designed to collect files attached to USENET news articles.  
	It will automatically handle single or multipart articles.  It has support for
	uuencoded or MIME/base64 attached objects. The user can set complex citerias and 
	filters to reduce the amount of unwanted objects (spam).  Downloads can be
	automatically prioritised based on criteria.  NewsGrabber can interact with Dial Up
	netwroking to dial up and hang up your internet connection as required.  It can 
	be run in a completely unattended mode to allow articles to be processed overnight
	when the load is less.  NewsGrabber now includes an incorporated image and text browser
	which can be used both to view downloaded images, but to easily add filter criteria
	to exclude spammers.  NewsGrabber keeps a log of all downloaded objects or articles.
