Thanks, Rob.

But I'm still in the dark as to what RSS actually is.

Over a week ago, I subscribed for an RSS program listing of one of our
local TV stations. I received several emails that my subscription had
been approved.

Since then nothing has happened.

Do I have to wait for them to email me the progam listing, I assume in
RSS format?

Or do I have to do something?

And if the latter, what do I have to do?

I assume the converter Glenn McCorkle has developed is just something to
convert files in RSS format to another format such as HTML that Arachne
can handle.

But where does the RSS file come from?

And how does it get to my computer?
