Hello,
Someone here asked me to write this. It takes your NNTP .newsrc file
and creates an HTML file named [your login name].NEWS.html in your home
directory for the newsgroups that YOU read. It uses grep/sed/awk so it
ought to work on most all unix systems.
Jim.

This is very short, so I thought I'd just post it. It's a UNIX shell
script which converts your .newsrc to html. If you have modifications,
please send them along.
