Ok, I decided to make use of that news server on my network. Should you need to
test news reader software to interface with your AI project, you can have it
connect to the server to send and receive messages. I sent a test message so
there is at least one item to down load. This will make it easy to test so there
isn't thousands of articles to download.
The server is called: cyberenhanced.com
The group is called: ai-group
It's set up like any other news server. Port 119.

I connected to the server, but now I need a newsgroup name. I tried
"control.newsgroup", but it said no such newsgroup exist.
I'm uploading the reader now. I wasn't able to convert the C code, and
when I was just about to give up (too many compile errors) I realized
that BCX could just read the file with no problems.
It took 10 minutes to throw the code into BCX! Can you tell I haven't
used it much. I spent over an hour, or two trying to convert the C code
to BCX not thinking BCX could do it so easily!
It is really simple. I went by memmory and I am not sure if the format
changed or if I was wrong with any of the processing rules.
1) I recall only a few headers are required, and the others are
optional. I scanned in order for the required headers, and added a few
extras.
2) I thought the body of the message started 5 lines from the Lines:
label, but it seems to be 6, so I set it to 6.
It is a real short program and basically just a demo on how to read ONE
message. It can be looped to read a large file containing many articles
which would be more efficient then reading 1 article per file.
