Here's a question for real UNIX users....

How can I access the vast storage of USENET articles on my host computer
without running the USENET articles reader programs (i.e. readnews, vnews,
etc.) ? I would love to be able to run a program that searches a particular
newsgroup for all articles whose header contains a key word, etc.

Is this possible ? How can I do it ?


Any response will be appreciated.
