UseNet Archive Reader is a small script that will traverse through archived Comp.Lang.Tcl files available from http://www.oche.de/~akupries/tcltk.html#clt-arch and display the results in a user understandable way. Very useful when trying to learn Tcl/Tk by looking at old Comp.Lang.Tcl posts.
This small program is for those who wish to study Tcl/Tk. A lot of information about this language is available on the web. And if you have any doubt about anything related to Tcl/Tk, there is this excellent news group Comp.Lang.Tcl. Over the years many people have asked their doubt there and got their answers. Such a wealth of information must be available to all who is interested in Tcl/Tk.
The good news is, it is available. But one has to be connected to the net for reading it. So I hit upon this solution. There are compressed archives of all the posting on this news group available on the net. But browsing thru it is very difficult. So I created this software to make the job much easier.
Installation
Just decompress the downloaded file to any folder of your choice. Then download the archive files from
http://www.oche.de/~akupries/tcltk.html#clt-arch and
extract it to the same folder that my script is kept.
If this format is not present, my software will not work.

Also I want to give a great big thank you to Andreas Kupries for providing the Archives.
