Some time back, someone suggested that a nice feature to add to vnews
would be the display of a short description of each newsgroup as it
comes up.  I've made the necessary changes to visual.c to do this; in
addition, I've written a shell script to automatically grab the
newsgroup description list posted regularly to net.news.group by Adam
Buchsbaum (research!alb) and put it where vnews can get at it.

You'll find what you need to install the above hacks in net.sources.
