 NR/2 ASCII is a 32-bit OS/2 command line utility. 
 It simply creates an ascii list of all newsgroups
 from the file news.all generated by NewsReader/2.
 This may be useful if you haven't exportet the list
 of all groups to newsrc immediately after getting it online.

   usage:  nr2ascii  news.all  [news.asc]

 news.all can be found in \tcpip\etc or \tcpip\etc\rnspool\USER
 depending on the version of NewsReader/2 you are using.
 news.asc is the output file.

 If you want to sort the ascii list by name
 and it is less than 64K in size, you can do this by
    type news.asc | sort > news.srt 
 If it is larger you may consider bigsort 
 which can be found on Hobbes or other sites.
    bigsort < news.asc > news.srt 

 This version of NR/2 ASCII may be used freely.
