- message formats. It will also handle TCP-connections with NNTP, SMTP
- and POP3.

- This is the Internet archive and requires thor22_main.lha to function.

-
- We have changed the method used for news collection in the TCP modules
- starting with this release. This is mainly for 2 reasons:
-
- - The old method using "NEWNEWS" put a heavy load on the newsserver.
- - If news collection was aborted for some reason, you would get all
- the news already collected in the next session.
-
- When using these new modules for the first time, you might get
- duplicated articles. This is only the first time you collect news
- with ConnectTHOR/GetTCP. If you do not want this, do the following:
-
- - Get news with the old modules so that you are up-to-date.
- - Install these new modules.
- - Select Config TCP from ConnectTHOR and set "max msgs" to 5 (or so).
- - Collect news again, this time using the new method.
- - Set back the "max msgs" to "Don't use" or whatever you want it to
- be.
