          I.   INTRODUCTION TO NEWSWERTHY
          ___________________________________________________________
          This section is an introduction to NewsWerthy and
          registration requirements.
          1.  WHAT IS NEWSWERTHY?
          ___________________________________________________________
          NewsWerthy is an off-line message reader for the SOUP
          format. This is the format generated by uqwk, when used with
          the +L parameter (but not the only way to make a SOUP
          packet).
          NewsWerthy can be used as a packet reader, or as a data-
          basing reader. With NewsWerthy you can read one packet, or
          messages from several packets at a time. Your position in
          the packet and which messages have been read are saved, so
          you can return to where you left off, and continue reading
          messages. If you want to keep any messages, they can be
          saved to folders. In data-basing mode you have several
          options as to how messages are expired, otherwise in packet
          mode they are deleted when a new packet is opened.
          NewsWerthy has a user interface with familiar pull down
          menus and context sensitive help that can be accessed easily
          with the keyboard or mouse. It has all the features you'll
          need to read, reply and save messages for later reference.
          It has several options for reading mail, depending on your
          preferences. You can easily read all messages, or just a few
          by using its search capabilities.
          Features:
  • A data-base of all your messages or just the current

packets messages can be read.

  • Shell to DOS anywhere (yes anywhere with Ctrl-S).
  • An address book for email addresses with an alias for each

entry.

  • Edit messages using your favorite editor.
  • Print all or part of a message.
  • Replies to a message in a newsgroup can be sent by email

or to the newsgroup.

                                        2
  • Replies can be re-sent if auto-saved.
  • Messages can be forwarded using email.
  • Automatically appends a signature file to your replies.
  • Save messages to a folder using a pick list of names up to

80 characters long (no DOS filename limit).

  • Append or overwrite all or part of a message to a text

file.

  • Delete unwanted messages.
  • Search for a message using any combination of 1) Key words

in the message text 2) Subject 3) From.

  • Uses "smart searching" (remembers what you last searched

for in a newsgroup).

  • All setup is integrated into the program, including color

selection. No need to use a text editor on the

            configuration file.
  • Configurable to your message reading style.
  • Context sensitive help is displayed when F1 is pressed.
  • Pull down menus, with a hint line on the bottom of the

screen, for the usage of each menu item.

  • Supports monochrome, B/W and color monitors.
  • Quoted text in messages is color highlighted.
  • Marks read, saved or killed messages.
  • Sort messages on date, author, subject or no sort.
  • Remembers what newsgroup and what message you were last

reading, to easily pick up where you left off reading.

  • RFC-822, RFC-1036 & SOUP compliant.
  • Will optionally word wrap the displayed message.
  • Sorts mailing lists into their own separate "news" group.
  • Files can be attached to replies using UUEncode, XXEncode

or Base64.

                                        3
  • Attached files in a message, in any of the above three

formats can be saved to a text file.

  • Different setups can be used for each user (see section IV

of manual).

          2.  SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
          ___________________________________________________________
          An IBM PC or compatible with DOS 3.0 or higher. The monitor
          can be monochrome, hercules or color. A hard drive with
          several megabytes free.
          3.  CONTACTING THE AUTHOR
          ___________________________________________________________
          If you have any questions, comments or need technical
          support, feel free to contact me in one of the following
          ways:
          1) By email at billw@eskimo.com
          2) I monitor the usenet newsgroup alt.usenet.offline-reader.
          3) By mail at the address listed for registration.
          4) In person at (206) 258-1755, evenings 5pm to 10pm Pacific
          time and weekends.
          4.  REGISTERING NEWSWERTHY
          ____________________________________________________________
          Why register? Registering removes the opening unregistered
          message. The helpful (for new users) but somewhat annoying
          "Are you sure you want to edit the message selected?"
          message, plus several others are also disabled. Registered
          users who provide an email address will receive notice of
          any significant updates.
          There is also a 30 day evaluation period on the data-basing
          feature. After 30 days and 15 uses you will be asked to
          register. After 60 days and 30 uses, you will only be able
          to read new packets in the packet mode.
          Registered users will be able to use the protected mode
          version of NewsWerthy. It is the same as the shareware
          version, except that it requires a '286 or better CPU and
          uses virtual memory. This allows very large messages and
                                        4
          newsgroups to be read, since it is not limited to
          conventional memory.
          Also if you find this program useful, you will surely want
          to see more features added. This can only happen if I
          receive your support. Many hours of work have gone into
          making this program, so send in the registration form and
          you will receive a registration number. Your registration
          will also be good on future updates.
          The registration form can be printed by pressing P at the
          opening screen.
          NewsWerthy is released as shareware. You are encouraged to
          make copies and distribute them for others to use. The only
          restriction is that the copies are in their complete and
          unmodified form. A list of all the files is in the
          README.TXT file.
          To continue using NewsWerthy past the evaluation period,
          send $25 US to the address below:
             William Werth
             4404 Terrace Dr. #4
             Everett, Wa 98203
          If you don't use the registration form, be sure and include
          your email address and the name to register NewsWerthy
          under, so I can send you a registration code number. If
          you'd like me to send your registration code by snail mail,
          include your mailing address.

          6.  THANKS AND KUDOS
          ___________________________________________________________
          I want to thank my beta testers for making NewsWerthy what
          it is.
          Arnie, who named NewsWerthy.
          Also my girlfriend Juanita, who showed great patience while
          I worked many hours on NewsWerthy.
          Rachel Polanskis, who gave me the motivation to add
          attaching files.
          II.  QUICK START PROCEDURE
          ___________________________________________________________
          Be sure to read the README.TXT file for installation
          instructions. Once you've installed NewsWerthy you'll want
          to run NWERTHY.EXE.
          NewsWerthy is easy to use and takes a minimum of set-up. You
          can always hit the F1 key to get help, or wing it, since you
          will be warned of any non-recoverable actions. Most commands
          are executed with a single key press indicated by the
          highlighted letter in the menu or on the status line. On
          start up it will go straight to the configuration dialog if
          no previous set-up exists, otherwise Alt-c will get you to
          the configuration menu. If you are unsure of any
          directories, you can press Ctrl-S to shell to DOS. You will
          probably be able to use most of the defaults, but will need
          to set up the following:
          1. Download Directory - Enter the drive and directory where
               the mail packet is located. A filename like ESKIMO.ZIP
               or ESKIMO*.ZIP can be included too. Including the
               filename in the registered version causes the file
               dialog to be skipped, and instead goes directly to
               unzipping the mail packet.
          2. Upload Directory - Press Tab to move to this field. Enter
               the drive and directory where your communication
               program expects to find files to upload. The reply
               packet will be placed here and will be named similar to
               the mail packet, except the extension will be .REP. I
               named my mail packet ESKIMO.ZIP which then translates
               to ESKIMO.REP for the reply packet.
                                        6
               Or instead, include the full pathname of the reply
               packet to always create the same name for the reply
               packet, no matter what the name of the mail packet.
          3. Work Directory - Press Tab to move to this field. Make
               this a subdirectory of where NWERTHY.EXE is stored.
               Something like C:\NWERTHY\ESKIMO will work fine. While
               reading messages, files in this directory are read, so
               be sure to put this one on the hard drive. Don't use a
               ram drive, if you want NewsWerthy to remember your last
               session.
          3. Folders Directory - Press Tab to move to this field. Make
               this a subdirectory of where NWERTHY.EXE is stored.
               Something like C:\NWERTHY\FOLDERS
          4. Text Editor - Press Tab to move to this field. The editor
               is only needed if you plan to edit files or reply to
               messages. Enter the drive and directory where your
               editor can be found. Select an editor that can handle
               lines longer than 80 characters. Also error handling
               works best if the editor returns an error level other
               than 0 on failure. DOS Edit is a good editor to start
               out with. No matter what editor you chose, make sure
               you always save as a text (ASCII) file.
          Press Enter after any changes are made to save them or
          Cancel to ignore them.
          If you already have a SOUP packet, press F3 to unpack it.
          Select Yes when prompted to read it, and use the normal
          cursor keys, plus the space bar to view the messages.
          The manual can be printed by entering from the DOS prompt:
             COPY NWERTHY.DOC PRN  (press return)
          The manual is formatted for 51 lines per page with a top
          margin of .4 inches. The margins are 1.25 inches for 60
          characters per line. This should make it printable to single
          or continuous sheets with no changes needed.
          III. USING NEWSWERTHY
          ___________________________________________________________
          NewsWerthy contains plenty of on-line, context sensitive
          help (press F1) and is so easy to use you'll probably never
          need to read most of this. But if you are new to off-line
                                        7
          mail reading, get stuck or just like reading manuals then
          here is what you'll need to know.
          1.  SETTING UP THE HOST (BBS) FOR SOUP PACKETS
          ___________________________________________________________
          NewsWerthy is designed to work with the SOUP format, which
          generally means using uqwk. Uqwk generates an AREAS file and
          .MSG files containing the messages from the newsgroups
          you're subscribed to, plus your email.
          First verify uqwk is available on your BBS. Don't enter uqwk
          to test this, instead enter man uqwk, and while you're at it
          you might want to at least read the first paragraph or two.
          If uqwk is not available, contact your system operator on
          how to generate SOUP packets.
          To automate using uqwk you'll want to use something like the
          following script on your host system. This script file is
          included in the distribution, but here is a copy for your
          reference. All lines that start with #, except the first are
          optional.
          #!/bin/sh
          # Usage: soup [ upload ]
          # Process reply packet if requested
          if [ $# -gt 0 ]
          then
            if [ $1 = "upload" ]
            then
              echo start your upload of yourbbs.rep now!
              rz
              unzip -U yourbbs.rep
              uqwk -m -n +L -RREPLIES
              rm yourbbs.rep
            fi
          fi
          # Check for an existing packet
          if [ -f "yourbbs.zip" ]
          then
            echo Warning - found an unsent yourbbs.zip file!
            sz -u yourbbs.zip
          fi
          # Copy your newsgroups file to a backup directory as a
          # precaution
          cp .newsrc backup
                                        8
          # Collect your unread mail and news in SOUP format
          # change -B8000 to -B0 for no limit on packet size
          uqwk +m +n -z +L -B8000
          # Zip it up, and delete files if successful
          zip -m yourbbs AREAS *.MSG
          # Download it to your PC
          sz -u yourbbs.zip
          The above file (soup) must be first transferred to your BBS
          using the UNIX upload command rz at the UNIX prompt.
          Now you'll need to make the script executable and also make
          the backup directory. To do this, enter the following at the
          UNIX command prompt:
              chmod u+x soup
              mkdir backup
          You may also want to change all "yourbbs" entries to the
          name of your BBS.
          If you have any problems getting the above to work, what
          follows is further explanation of the script to help in
          locating the trouble. If a particular command works
          differently on your system, check the manual, for example
          "man zip". All lines starting in #, except the first are
          comments.
          Here are the commands used for replies:
          rz - Starts the upload of the YOURBBS.REP using the zmodem
          protocol. If your communication package doesn't support
          zmodem, change this to something like rx.
          unzip -U yourbbs.rep - The -U switch forces the files in the
          archive to be uncompressed to uppercase, this may the
          default, but is included just to be sure.
          uqwk -m -n +L -RREPLIES - The +L indicates SOUP format, the
          -R contains the name of the file which points to the
          messages files (R0.MSG, etc.). The -m and -n ensure no mail
          or news is lost.
          rm yourbbs.rep - Deletes the reply packet.
          Here are the commands used for collecting news and mail:
          uqwk +m +n -z +L -B8000 - The +m and +n, indicate include
          mail and news. The -z is there just in case someone has set
                                        9
          the environment variable for Zipnews format on your host (-z
          turns it off).
          zip -m yourbbs AREAS *.MSG - The -m deletes the AREAS and
          *.MSG files once successfully compressed into the packet.
          sz -u yourbbs.zip - The -u unlinks (deletes) the packet once
          successfully sent.
          2.  DOWNLOADING THE MAIL PACKET FROM THE HOST (BBS)
          ___________________________________________________________
          Log onto your BBS and go to a UNIX command prompt. Then run
          the above SOUP UNIX script from the command line like so:
              soup download
          If your communications program has auto zmodem disabled you
          will need to start zmodem manually. The commands from the
          script can also be entered one at a time to get the same
          effect (skip the if then lines).
          3.  UPLOADING A REPLY PACKET TO THE HOST (BBS)
          ___________________________________________________________
          Log onto your BBS and go to a UNIX command prompt. Then run
          the above UNIX script from the command line like so:
              soup upload
          If for some reason you encounter an error and your news is
          lost before you get a chance to read it, simply enter the
          following at the UNIX command prompt, to restore your news:
              cp backup\.newsrc .
          Then repeat the download process. Although this restores the
          news pointers, any email that was collected, will be lost.
          4.  READING THE MESSAGES IN THE MAIL PACKET
          ___________________________________________________________
          After hitting a random function key (if unregistered), you
          have two ways to get started. You can use either the menus
          at the top or the function keys at the bottom of the screen.
          Besides the initial setup or odd command, the function keys
          will be almost all you'll ever need.
          To prepare a packet for reading, select New Packet (F3).
          Select the packet using the dialog and press Enter to
          uncompress your mail and generate the necessary indexes.
                                       10
          Next, to read your news and mail, select Read News (F4).
          Pressing the space bar will allow you to read your mail
          sequentially from start to finish. If you read most
          messages, you may want to select the "Esc to Index" option
          from the Message Options dialog under the setup menu.
          Otherwise use the "Standard" option and read the section on
          USING THE KEYBOARD to select and read those you're
          interested in.
          If you press the space bar to read a newsgroup, only unread
          messages are shown. To see read, plus killed messages, press
          the Enter key to read a newsgroup.
          NewsWerthy automatically puts mail from mailing lists into
          separate "news" groups. It does this by reading the message
          headers To:, Cc:, Sender: and Originator lines. This may not
          work 100% consistently, because mailing lists aren't 100%
          consistent. To help NewsWerthy be much more accurate in
          separating your personal mail, be sure to enter your email
          address in the Reply-To picklist (the Cc: line is checked
          from this). To make the mailing lists more accurate, add
          it's email address to the address book and check the mailing
          list box. Your email is also put into a group called "all",
          if you prefer to read it all together.
          One way to limit the messages you read is to generate kill
          files by selecting Kill while reading the message. This
          brings up a dialog that lets you choose between killing all
          messages that match that subject or all messages from that
          author. Wildcards can be used and are explained in the on-
          line help. Kill files can only be used if you reading
          messages in the data-basing mode.
          The message list defaults to a sort on the subject. This can
          be changed temporarily to sorting on the date, author or no
          sort as an aid in finding a message. A sort on none will
          display the messages in the order they were saved to the
          file, with the newest first. To change the sort, select Sort
          Messages from the status line of the messages list.
          Messages are flagged read after you view them. This is
          indicated by "READ" in the upper right of the message and an
          asterisk at the beginning of each message list entry. Read
          messages will be skipped if you're using the space bar,
          otherwise use the Enter key to read messages marked with an
          asterisk. The - and + keys can be used to go to a read
          message. To mark all messages as read or unread in a
          newsgroup, select the appropriate command from the
          Newsgroups list (the first list displayed after selecting
          Read Mail).
                                       11
          If you come across a message that looks like gibberish, try
          pressing Alt-R, to ROT-13, the message. Hitting ALT-R twice
          restores a message back to its original state.
          If error messages occur while reading messages, the index or
          book mark files may have become corrupt or deleted. Select
          Restore Indexes from the News Incoming menu to generate new
          indexes (*.IDX) and book marks (*.BKM) from the message
          (*.MSG) files. You'll need to enter the filename of the
          packet if not present in the input line that appears. The
          name and extension is all that is required.
          5.  SEARCHING MESSAGES IN THE MAIL PACKET
          ___________________________________________________________
          You can select the messages you read by selecting Find from
          the message list. This brings up a dialog that lets you
          search messages three ways. A search can find any matches in
          the text, subject or author of the message. These can be
          used separately or in combination, with the messages that
          match appearing in a message list. More than one phrase can
          be entered on an input line, by separating them with
          semicolons (;). All searches are case insensitive (matches
          either upper or lower case).
          When you use the find dialog, you may notice that some of
          the input fields are already filled in. This is what I call
          "smart searching". If you usually search a newsgroup for the
          same text, NewsWerthy will remember this, and fill in the
          field for you. In order for this to work, you need to do two
          things: 1) Add the search string to the appropriate picklist
          (open the picklist by pressing the down arrow key, then
          press "Alt-A" to add it). 2) Select the search string from
          the picklist and press Enter to start your search. If there
          is no previous search string for the newsgroup, NewsWerthy
          will fill in the fields with whatever was used last.
          Messages can be searched on the text portion of the message.
          As an example, if you enter "10 speed;15 speed" (don't enter
          quotes) then any message with either the phrase "10 speed"
          or "15 speed" in it or in the subject will appear in the
          Matches in message list. When you read the messages, the
          line where the match occurred will be highlighted (only the
          first match is highlighted).
          Messages can be searched on the message Subject or From
          line. Messages that match anywhere in these lines will
          appear in the Matches in message list. If a message doesn't
          contain a From line, the To or Newsgroups line will be
          searched instead.
                                       12
          Text in a single message can be searched by pressing "X" for
          Text search, from the message viewing screen. This operates
          similar to the Find command. The line that contains a match
          is highlighted in the center of the screen. This is useful
          for finding something in the middle of a long message such
          as a FAQ. Additional occurrences of the search phrase can be
          found by hitting the "+" key.
          6.  REPLYING TO A MESSAGE
          ___________________________________________________________
          While reading a message, select Reply, which will bring up a
          dialog. Select Mail to send a private message, News to reply
          in the newsgroup, Forward to send the message by email to a
          friend or Mailing List (if an email message) to send a
          message to a mailing list (the email address in the To:
          line). Select Re-send Mail only from the auto-saved.replies
          folder to add that message to the reply packet. The default
          is to quote the message for all of the above, but Don't
          Quote can be selected to start from scratch. To send a new
          message use Post New Msg from the message list, or Send News
          or Send Mail from the Mail Outgoing menu, not the Don't
          Quote option.
          When a message is forwarded, a dialog lets you indicate who
          you want to send it to. A few extra header lines are added
          to indicate who the message was originally from. It is then
          quoted and loaded into your editor. This gives you a chance
          to delete a portion or add a note for the recipient.
          Read RFC1036 for detailed information on the message
          headers, otherwise read on. Only the Newsgroups and Subject
          are required, and should be entered in the Message Reply
          Options dialog as follows:
          To - This is the email address of the recipient of the email
          message. An alias from the address book can be entered here.
          An entry from the address book can be selected by pressing
          the down arrow key.
          Each alias in the address book must be unique and not
          contain an "@" character, but can contain spaces. The email
          address is substituted for the alias when the message is
          sent. Multiple email addresses and/or aliases can be entered
          on the email address line. The only limits being that not
          more than 255 characters can be entered and it can't expand
          to more than 1023 characters. Separate each address/alias
          with a single comma and a space (, ).
                                       13
          Cc - This is used to send a Carbon Copy to 1 or more email
          recipients. The easiest way to send email to group of people
          is as follows: Define an alias in the address book that
          expands to all the email addresses in the group. Then enter
          just the alias on this line.
          Bcc - Virtually the same as Cc, except that this line may
          not appear in the header of each of the recipients messages.
          Newsgroups - The Newsgroup is filled in for you
          automatically. To post to a different newsgroup, select one
          from the pick list by pressing the down arrow key or enter
          it in. To cross-post the message to several newsgroups,
          separate each with a comma (,) and no spaces. Replying to a
          cross-posted message will maintain the original distribution
          unless you edit this line.
          Subject - NewsWerthy will add Re: to the current subject for
          you.
          Followup-To - This is used to indicate a different newsgroup
          for replies to be sent to.
          Keywords - A few well selected keywords identifying the
          message can be entered.
          Summary - A brief summary of the message.
          Reply-To - To indicate an email address to send replies to.
          Organization - To indicate the organization you belong to.
          Extra Header - To add any headers lines not listed above.
          You'll need to enter the name of the header ending with a
          colon (:), a space, and the contents of the header line.
          When adding a non-standard header line, start it with X-.
          To attach a file to your message select Attach File (Alt-F).
          Then select which encoding method you want to use.
          UUEncoding is probably the most universal format, but
          XXEncoding is more likely to make it to the recipient of the
          message un-altered. Choose Base64 if the recipient of the
          message uses a reader that supports MIME. Large files will
          be split into multiple messages of 850 lines each or about
          38k. There is a limit of 99 messages per attached file
          (about a 4 meg file). I don't recommend adding a signature
          to your message when using this option. NewsWerthy handles
          this fine, but other decoders may not be able to re-create
          the file, unless it is removed.
                                       14
          The editor you've entered in the Directories Setup is used
          to enter the message. Save the file as a text (ASCII) file
          and exit from your editor once you're done. Signatures can
          automatically be appended to your messages. Simply use your
          editor to enter into a file the text you want appended to
          the end of each reply. Name this file NWERTHY.SIG and store
          it in the work directory.
          When you're finished reading your messages, any replies
          you've entered are compressed and stored in the Upload
          Directory. If you've selected Auto-Save Reply the message is
          also stored in the auto-saved.replies folder.
          7.  POSTING A NEW MESSAGE TO A NEWSGROUP
          ___________________________________________________________
          Posting a new message is nearly the same as replying to a
          message. The main differences are as follows:
          To post a message to a newsgroup, select Post New Msg from
          the messages list. You'll need to enter a subject. Choose a
          descriptive topic, something like Help me, isn't likely to
          generate a lot of interest.
          You can also post a new message to a newsgroup by selecting
          Send News from the Mail Outgoing menu.
          8.  SENDING AN EMAIL MESSAGE
          ___________________________________________________________
          To enter an email message, select Send Mail (F7) from the
          menu screen, enter an email address to send the message to
          (or pick one from the picklist) and proceed the same as for
          Post New Msg.
          9.  REVIEWING & MODIFYING REPLIES OR STORED MESSAGES
          ___________________________________________________________
          Select Review Replies (F8) from the menu screen to read your
          replies. Select Read Stored (F6) from the menu screen to
          read messages saved to folders.
          While at the message list or message viewing screen, a
          message can be deleted or edited. A reply can also be edited
          by pressing R (Reply). When editing a reply, be careful what
          changes you make to the message header. A temporary file
          with an odd name ending in something like .AAA is created to
                                       15
          edit the message. Select save and exit from your editor when
          done.
          Once you delete a message, its gone forever, so make backups
          if you can't afford to make mistakes.
          Replying to a reply, allows you to change any of the headers
          using the same dialog that you originally created it with.
          There are some restrictions though. The To line will be
          truncated to 255 characters, but can be re-entered, if this
          happens. The Extra Header line will only be automatically
          added to the dialog if it is present in the picklist. If you
          have added any header lines by manually editing the message,
          they will be lost.
          10. SAVING MESSAGES
          ___________________________________________________________
          Selecting Save while viewing a message brings up a dialog.
          The default is to save to a SOUP format (binary mail)
          folder. If the current newsgroup name matches one in the
          newsgroup pick list, it is displayed, otherwise whatever was
          entered previously is used. The default can be used or one
          can be selected from the pick list.
          If you'd rather append or overwrite all or part of the
          message to a DOS text file, select Save to Text File. Use
          the dialog to select or enter a DOS filename for saving.
          Select the OK button to append or the Replace button to
          overwrite the selected file. To save only a portion of a
          message to a DOS text file, highlight it using Top  (mark
          top) and Bot (mark bottom), then save as described above.
          You can press Alt-T from the message to go directly to Save
          to File dialog.
          If the message contains an attached file, it can be saved to
          a file by selecting Save Attached File (Alt-A). The dialog
          that then appears works the same as the one to save to a
          text file. NewsWerthy supports the 3 most popular formats
          for DOS PC's, which are UUEncode, XXEncode and Base64.
          Base64 is part of MIME, and the only support for MIME found
          in NewsWerthy. If the attached file spans multiple messages,
          simply save them in order, appending them to the same file,
          to recreate the binary file.
                                       16
          11. PRINTING MESSAGES
          ___________________________________________________________
          Select print, to print the current message to your printer.
          If your printer is off-line, you'll be prompted until you
          either turn it on or select cancel. To print only a portion
          of a message, highlight it using Mark Top and Bottom, then
          select print.
          If you want the last page printed to eject, select this
          option from the Setup menu, in the Printer Options dialog.
          12. UQWK COMMANDS
          ___________________________________________________________
          Uqwk provides commands to unsubscribe, subscribe, catchup or
          list newsgroups. A shell command can also be run, with the
          output from standard output mailed back to you. Normally you
          would enter an email message to uqwk.
          To simplify sending commands to uqwk, select Uqwk Cmds from
          the newsgroup list. Use this dialog as many times as you
          like. Some other readers are limited to only one message to
          uqwk. NewsWerthy avoids this limitation by saving your
          commands and then entering them in one message, and placing
          this at the end of the reply files.
          The current newsgroup is saved one key away in the Uqwk
          dialog. To unsubscribe to a newsgroup select Uqwk Cmds,
          Press down arrow and press Enter twice. That's all there is
          to it.
          13. USING THE KEYBOARD
          ___________________________________________________________
          The following keys can be used in dialog boxes.
          Esc        - Exit this screen and go back to the previous
                       screen (exits program when menu is displayed).
                       Cancels any changes made.
          Enter,     - Enters any changes made or chooses the selected
                       button, same as selecting a button with the
                       mouse.
          Tab        - Go to next option

                           first line displayed in a list (not
                           necessarily the first line in the list).
          End            - Goes to the end of the message or the last
                           line displayed in a list (not necessarily

                           left.
          Ctrl-arrows    - Right and left arrows in combination with
                           the control key, goes to the end of the
                           line or the start of the line.
          Note that by turning off the Num Lock on your keyboard,
          messages can be read using only the keys on the keypad. The
          Ins key is used to go to the next message instead of the
          space bar, and the Del key instead of the Esc key using this
          method.
          Pick lists are used to save information on disk, such as
          newsgroup names, email addresses, search phrases and such.
          They can be accessed by selecting an input line, then
          pressing the down arrow. If its a pick list (instead of a
          history list), you'll see several commands on the hint line.
          These are as follows:
          Add      - Press Alt-A to add an item to the pick list.
                     Duplicates aren't allowed.
          Edit     - Press Alt-E to Edit an item in the pick list.
          Delete   - Press Alt-D to delete an item from the pick list.
           14. USING THE MOUSE
          ___________________________________________________________
          I won't go into too much detail, but here is how to use the
          mouse with NewsWerthy:
          The message or a list can be scrolled by clicking on the up
          or down arrow on the scroll bar to the right of the window.
          Hold the mouse button down while pointing at the position
          icon and slide it up or down to change position in the
          window. Clicking above or below the position icon, scrolls
          up or down a page at a time.
          Windows can be closed by clicking on the close icon in the
          upper left corner.
          Buttons and other objects are selected by a single click on
          them with the mouse pointer.
          An item in a list may open a new window if double-clicked.
          For example, in the message list, double-click on a subject
          to read that message. Double-clicking has the same effect as
          pressing the Enter key.
                                       19
          Pressing the right mouse button with the pointer in the
          center portion of the window, has the same effect as
          pressing the Esc key.
          Double-clicking with the left mouse button on the message
          text is the same as pressing the Enter key.
          Clicking on any item in the status line (the bottom line)
          has the same effect as pressing the hot key.
           15. CONFIGURATION
          ___________________________________________________________
          Should you need to verify or create directories, you can
          press Ctrl-S for a Dos Shell.
          Alt-c will get you to the configuration menu from the menu
          screen.
          The Directories & Utilities dialog contains the following:
          1. Download Directory - Enter the drive and directory where
               the mail packet is located. A filename like ESKIMO.ZIP
               or ESKIMO*.ZIP can be included too. Including the
               filename in the registered version causes the file
               dialog to be skipped, and instead goes directly to
               unzipping the mail packet.
          2. Upload Directory - Press Tab to move to this field. Enter
               the drive and directory where your communication
               program expects to find files to upload. The reply
               packet will be placed here and will be named similar to
               the mail packet, except the extension will be .REP. I
               named my mail packet ESKIMO.ZIP which then translates
               to ESKIMO.REP for the reply packet.
               Or instead, include the full pathname of the reply
               packet to always create the same name for the reply
               packet, no matter what the name of the mail packet.
          3. Work Directory - Press Tab to move to this field. Make
               this a subdirectory of where NWERTHY.EXE is stored.
               Something like C:\NWERTHY\ESKIMO will work fine. While
               reading messages, files in this directory are read, so
               be sure to put this one on the hard drive. Don't use a
               ram drive, if you want NewsWerthy to remember your last
               session. This directory will be created if it doesn't
               already exist.
                                       20
          3. Folders Directory - Press Tab to move to this field. Make
               this a subdirectory of where NWERTHY.EXE is stored.
               Something like C:\NWERTHY\FOLDERS
          4. Text Editor - Press Tab to move to this field. The editor
               is only needed if you plan to edit files or reply to
               messages. Enter the drive and directory where your
               editor can be found. Select an editor that can handle
               lines longer than 80 characters. Also error handling
               works best if the editor returns an error level other
               than 0 on failure. No matter what editor you chose,
               make sure you always save as a text (ASCII) file.
          The Message Options dialog contains the following:
          1. News Quote or Mail Quote Format - The first line of the
               quoted text can contain information from the quoted
               message's header, such as the name of the author or the
               message Id. The newsgroup name can also be included.
               The following variables can be used:
               %A  Address (Email)
               %D  Date
               %F  Full address
               %G  Groupname
               %M  Message Id
               %N  Name of author
               Examples:
                 On %D in %G you wrote:
                 In %M, %F wrote:

          2. Quoting Characters(s) - When replying to a message, the
               text of the message can be quoted. Up to two characters
               can be added to the beginning of each quoted line. To
               add a space use the underscore (_).
               For example ">_" would add a ">" character and a space
               at the start of each quoted line.
                                       21
          3. Word Wrap - Select this option to avoid having to scroll
               horizontally, to read lines longer then 78 characters.
               They will wrap around to the next line instead. This
               also will expand tabs to 8 spaces instead of one space.
          4. Quote with Initials - When replying to a message, the
               text of the message can be quoted. In addition to the
               two characters that can be added to the beginning of
               each quoted line, the authors initials can be added.
          5. Message Reading Style - There are two ways to read
               messages. The first "Standard" displays a message, then
               returns to the message list, where you can select the
               next message to view. You'll probably prefer this if
               you are reading only a few of the messages. The second
               "Esc to Index" displays a message, then goes to the
               next unread message. Esc must be pressed to see the
               message list. You'll probably prefer this if you are
               reading most of the messages.
          6. Message Threading Style - Message subjects (along with
               number of lines and the author) are displayed in a
               selection list. There are two ways to sort the subject
               and three ways to display it.
               The first sorting method puts all subjects starting
               with "Re:" with other messages starting with R (this is
               the "Normal" sort). The second method ignores the
               "Re:", and sorts on the text that follows, grouping
               replies with the original message (this is the "Don't
               sort on Re:" sort).
               The second display method shows subjects without the
               "Re:" (this is the "Don't display Re:" sort). The third
               display method displays the subjects without the "Re:",
               and one ">" appended in front of the subject for each
               reference, in the References: line (this is the
               "Indicate thread depth" sort). A maximum of ten ">"
               will be added. This gives an indication of how long the
               thread has been active. If it is an email message
               instead of in a newsgroup, the subject with the "Re:"
               will be displayed for this last option.
          The Data-basing Options dialog contains the following:
          1. Expiration Options - There are four different ways to
               expire a message. When a new packet is opened, expired
               messages are deleted. These options can be applied to
               an individual newsgroup or from the Setup menu to apply
               to all newsgroups.
                                       22
               Expire All Messages - This expires all messages in a
               newsgroup. If selected from the Setup menu, this puts
               NewsWerthy in packet mode (non-data-basing mode).
               Expire Old Messages - This expires all messages older
               than the "Expire Old Messages (Days)" amount.
               Expire Read Messages - This expires all read messages.
               Expire Killed Messages - This expires all messages
               marked killed by matching entries in a kill file.
               Save Read Messages - This saves read messages to the
               folder named in "Save Read Messages to Folder" entry.
               Saved messages are not deleted, and will not be saved,
               if they have been previously saved.
          2. Expire Old Messages (Days) - Any messages older than this
               number of days will be expired if "Expire Old Messages"
               is also selected.
          3. Max. Messages in Newsgroup - When the number of messages
               in a newsgroup exceeds this amount, the oldest messages
               will be expired. New messages are then added, so the
               actual number of messages in a newsgroup can exceed
               this amount.
          The above options are also displayed at the top of the
          screen for the current newsgroup while reading messages. The
          options takes affect if set in the individual newsgroup or
          in the Setup menu for all newsgroups.
          4. Save Read Messages to Folder - Select a folder from the
               picklist, where you want all read messages to be saved.
               The messages will only be saved if "Save Read Messages"
               is also selected. The message is not saved until a new
               packet is opened.
          The Printer Options dialog contains the following:
          1. Lines to print per page - This is the number of line to
               print per page for long messages. A printer that prints
               using continuous feed paper usually prints 66 lines per
               page. Subtract the number of lines you want for the top
               and bottom margin and enter that number for this
               setting. If you prefer no page breaks, set this to 0.
          2. Top Margin - The number of blank lines to print at the
               top of every page.
                                       23
          3. Eject Last Page - Select this to have the last page of
               the message ejected when printed.
          The Colors Setup dialog - Colors can be easily changed using
               the mouse, or through a combination of the tab and
               arrow keys. Try changing only one color at a time and
               then see its effect. Some changes effect only one
               screen, but most change a similar type of object across
               all screens.  There is also usually more than one place
               where a color can be changed in the Colors dialog. Of
               course this is only an option if you have a color
               monitor.
          16. VIEWING A FILE
          ___________________________________________________________
          To view a text file select View File (F5) from the File
          Menu. Use the dialog to select a file. See USING THE
          KEYBOARD for the keys to use (same as those for a list).
          17. ABOUT NEWSWERTHY
          ___________________________________________________________
          The replies to messages you enter are stored in several
          files ending with a .MSG extension. Replies to newsgroups
          are in R0.MSG. Mail replies are in R1.MSG. UQWK commands are
          in R2.MSG. Information for UQWK (or whatever you're using to
          process the SOUP reply packet) about the above files is
          stored in a REPLIES file. These are all zipped up
          automatically and stored in the upload directory under a
          file named the same as the SOUP packet, but ending in a .REP
          extension. If you were to manually create this rep packet
          you would enter: PKZIP YOURBBS.REP R?.MSG REPLIES at the DOS
          prompt. If the reply packet already existed you would add
          the -u switch to the above. Replies are deleted when a new
          packet is uncompressed.
          When an external program is run or the DOS shell is used,
          all but a few kilobytes of the executable is saved
          temporarily to either EMS, XMS or to disk, leaving more
          memory for a DOS shell or an external program like PKZIP. To
          make swapping more efficient (when there is no EMS or XMS
          memory) be sure to have either TEMP or TMP defined in you
          autoexec.bat file. These environmental variables are used
          for the swap file, and also for any temporary files created
          for editing a message.
          You will notice some files in your work directory with the
          extension .PL4, .PL5, .BKM, .DAT, .MSG and .IDX. Those
                                       24
          ending in .PL4 and .PL5 are used to keep track of the kill
          files. Those ending in .BKM are used to keep track of which
          messages have been read. Those ending in .IDX contain the
          index information. Those ending in .DAT contain information
          about the newsgroups in the AREAS file. Those ending in .MSG
          are created by uqwk. Those ending with .PL and a number
          contain the pick lists.
          Once you've registered NewsWerthy, the file NWERTHY.KEY is
          generated. Don't delete this, else you'll have to enter your
          registration data again.
          You will notice that NewsWerthy doesn't put any .BAK files
          (backup files) in your work directory. This saves space and
          time but the trade-off is that if a disk error should occur
          while deleting or editing a message, the data could become
          corrupt or lost in that file. If you have critical
          information saved, I highly recommend that you make backups
          before editing or deleting any messages.
          The length of messages NewsWerthy can read is limited by the
          amount of free conventional memory in the shareware version.
          If a message is too long to fit in memory, you'll be given
          the option to save it to a file.
          IV.  EXAMPLE USES OF NEWSWERTHY
          ___________________________________________________________
          In this section, I'll give examples of specific applications
          of using NewsWerthy. If you would like to contribute to this
          section, send me email about how you use NewsWerthy.
          1.  SEVERAL PACKETS, ONE REPLY PACKET
          ___________________________________________________________
          You may want to read several packets, generate replies, and
          then upload a single reply packet. There are at least two
          possible ways to do this:
          1) If the news packets all have the same name, just reply no
          when prompted to delete the reply packet, and you can keep
          adding to it.
          2) If the news packets have different names, you will need
          to enter the full pathname of the reply packet for the
          Upload Directory, in the Directories & Utilities setup
          dialog. This will cause all replies to be added to this one
          reply packet.

          Their are several ways to use PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) with
          NewsWerthy:
          1) I've included a batch file donated by a NewsWerthy user
          (it requires DOS 6.0 or better to run). I've called this
          pgpshell.bat. You'll want to edit it to include the name of
          your editor. In setup enter the pathname of this batch file
          for the Text Editor. When a message is edited the batch file
          will offer you a choice as to what you want done to the
          message. Then it calls your editor and you enter your
          message. And finally, the batch file executes the proper pgp
          commands to perform the desired function. If your not using
          PGS shell with PGP, you'll need to modify the batch file
          further.
          Last I checked, PGS was available in the security directory
          of SimTel as pgs099g.zip.
          2) Another option is to use AutoPGP. This is another shell
          for PGP that allows you to add commands (directives) to your
          replies and then modifies them according to those commands.
          AutoPGP is available at SimTel in the off-line directory as
          apgp212.zip. The next version of AutoPGP should be setup to
          automatically configure itself for use with NewsWerthy.
          3.  WITH LAPTOPS
          ___________________________________________________________
          Many laptops have what is called a grey scale display. This
          looks similar to monochrome, but NewsWerthy will detect this
          as a color display. To make NewsWerthy detect this as a
          black & white display, for easier viewing, use DOS's mode
          command.
          There are two ways to do this. Either run the command "mode
          bw80" just before running NewsWerthy, or put this command in
          a batch file along with the command to start NewsWerthy, and
          run the batch file.
          4.  WITH TAGLINE MANAGERS
          ___________________________________________________________
          There are several of these available at Simtel ftp sites.
                                       26
          One which is easy to use is SigMX 3.30. It lets you pick
          from a list of taglines to use, and you can change the
          signature file by entering its filename. This is found in
          the SimTel/msdos/offline directory as SMX330.ZIP. The error
          checking for finding files it uses is poor, but other than
          that it works good. Make sure you indicate the correct
          location of the signature file. I don't recommend you use
          the same signature file used with NewsWerthy (NWERTHY.SIG).
          You'll want to make one that is formatted with shorter lines
          since SigMX puts the sig on the left side and a tagline on
          the right. You can copy SigMX's files into the same
          directory as NewsWerthy if you like.
          5.  WITH MULTIPLE USERS
          ___________________________________________________________
          This feature is currently only available in the protected
          mode version.
          NewsWerthy defaults to saving its setup information in a
          configuration file named NWERTHY.CFG. To use other setups,
          start NewsWerthy like so:
             NWERTHY SETUP2.CFG
          If you only want to make a few changes, copy the default
          configuration file to the new file, then start NewsWerthy as
          shown above, and make the changes.
          To use NewsWerthy with multiple users, simply create a
          configuration file for each, and then each user starts
          NewsWerthy with the appropriate configuration file. Make
          sure that each user has a different work directory in their
          setup information.
          This feature can be used whenever you need to have a
          different setup, such as reading news from several BBS's
          where you'll need a separate work directory for each.
          5.  READING THE DATA-BASE WITH THE NUMBER KEYPAD
          ___________________________________________________________
          You can read and navigate through a packet with the number
          pad almost exclusively. All the normal navigation keys are
          there, plus I've assigned the function of the space bar to
          the Ins key, the Del key acts like the Esc key, and the *
          key is the same as All Read.
                                       27
          If you read a lot of messages, you may find this useful to
          avoid strain on your hand.
          The order of the newsgroups can be changed by pressing Shift
          and the up or down arrow key.
          If I only read a newsgroup occasionally, and don't want to
          save any messages, I'll use the "Expire All Messages"
          expiration option. When I'm done reading messages in the
          group I'll press Del to exit from it.
          If I want to save old messages, but don't read all the
          messages in the newsgroup, I'll use the "Expire Old
          Messages" expiration option. When I'm done reading messages
          in the group I'll press * to exit from it, marking all
          messages as read.
          If I want to be sure to read all messages in a newsgroup,
          but don't want to save them once read, I'll use the "Expire
          Read Messages" expiration option. When I'm done reading
          messages in the group I'll press Del to exit from it.
          If I'm reading my personal mail, I'll use the "Save Read
          Messages" expiration option. This way I'll save all messages
          sent to me. If the is a junk letter to me, I'll delete it so
          it won't be saved to a folder. If I want to save it in a
          different folder, I'll save it after reading it, so it won't
          be saved to the folder setup in the Data-basing Options
          dialog.
          V.   GLOSSARY

          Bulletin Board - Also known as a BBS. A PC running a program
               that allows other computers to connect through the
               phone line. Once connected, a person can access
               messages, files, games, etc. This may also be referred
               to as the host system.
