This is a simple arexx script to reset THOR's article counters when
changing news servers. If you change to a news servers with lower
article numbering than your old one, or if your ISP renumbers the
existing server (such as after a hard disk reformat or crash) THOR
will be unable to find any news articles.

Run this script from the Arexx Script menu of THOR to reset the article
counts for the current system.


Installation
============

Copy ResetNews.thor to {THORPath}/rexx
Run it from the Arexx Script menu


Warranty
========

This script works for me. I guarantee that it will work for you
whenever it works, but at no other time.
