As well as updating .next article pointers from an active file, this
little utility can also use a killfile to kill articles by poster or
site (or pretty much anything in the From: field), as well as trimming
down the size of article headers for easier reading when imported into
a BBS or other non-newsreader system,
Program options are:
QUIET No program output (except errors)
NOISY List articles as they are cleaned/killed
KILL Use UULib:KillFile.From to kill articles
CLEAN Clean article headers
NOBIN Do not clean in 'binaries' newsgroups
COLOUR Use ANSI colour in console output
Normal program activity is to list each newsgroup and the number of
new articles and then update the .next pointer.
