I have rewritten gonntp for use with INN/nov. I call it gonnrp. For
non INN people nnrp is the newsreading part of nntp in INN. Gonnrp
does not need the tin index files like gonntp did. Note that it will
work without nov or with regular nntp it just will be slower as it
threads with xhdr commands and INN with nov has very very very fast
responce to xhdr. It also has other improvements that are listed
below:
gonnrp breaks newsgroups down into menus at each '.'.
Example:
Internet Gopher Information Client v1.12-ecn
clari - ClariNet UPI wireservice news (gonnrp)
--> 1. *** REQUIRED READING *** ClariNet Copyright Information ***.
2. biz - Business/
3. canada - Canadian Standard Broadcast Wire Service/
4. feature - /
5. local - Regional news/
6. nb - NewsBytes computer industry news service/
7. net - News and discussion about ClariNet/
8. news - /
9. sfbay - /
10. sports - /
11. streetprice - A group for prices of computer products. (Moderated)/
12. tw - TechWire, technology and topics related to technology/
This makes smaller more readable menus.
Other gonnrp features:
o gonnrp understands newsgroups names with '_'s in them.
o gonnrp reads a dbm version of the newsgroups file to put the
purposes of the newsgroups in the menus.
o gonnrp threads newsgroups. (Each thread is a menu)

You need to ftp the following files: (from uxa.ecn.bgu.edu:/pub/gopher/gonnrp)
README (this file)
how_to_gonnrp (what you need to know to use gonnrp)
gonnrp (the program [in perl])
build-newsgroups-db (builds the newsgroups dbm file)
dotall (used by build-newsgroups-db)
Please let me know how you like it. We use it here for our internal
gopher but it is not in our public gopher so don't bother looking.
