Subject: Tool offered to rename/link PC532 News/Mail files by date and sender.
From:	stacey@guug.de (Julian Stacey)

- Tool available to help order & thus reduce directories containing duplicate
  PC532 news & mail articles, contained by files with unhelpful names.
- Probably multiple articles are prevalent among those PC532 people enrolled
  both on the pc532 mailing list, & on news/comp.sys.nsc.32k.
- C Source is 6K (tabbed), pre nroff manual 4.7K.
- I won't mail or include it here unsolicited.
- To get a copy, ask me to either mail or sendnews, or offer yourself as
  an ftp archive site.
Brief Summary of `name_date.c'
- Sorts files containing mail & news articles, renaming to date sent + sender.
- Removes the randomising effect of each individual receiving news
  host's /usr/spool/news/ article received number, &/or mail received order.
- Assists easier comparison/reference to articles received
  by other mail/news hosts.
- Assists preening or merging article collections.
