This is fixnewsrc 1.4 - a perl program to manage the order of your
.newsrc file.  Now, admittedly, there are some newsreaders which will do
this, but how many of them support all of perl's power in expressions?

(After all, rn.pl isn't here yet.)

Changes in the program are currently documented within the source code;
I will probably move it to a ChangeLog with the next release.

Usage notes are within the program; run 'fixnewsrc -help'.

Future plans for version 1.5 (which may be 2.0) include:

 - support for a .news.dislikes file, to put your most-hated groups at
   the bottom.  This would be useful for dropping groups like
   vmsnet.networks.tcp-ip.* to the bottom while selecting all other
   tcp-ip groups, for example.  Suggested by Ed Vielmetti.

 - new (and hopefully faster) syntax options in preference files:
     ^comp       # will equal comp.all
     .sources    # comp.sources.misc, alt.sources, etc
   These would match only *whole name segments*, but should be faster
   than the "old" (/pat/) matches.  The price will be vastly larger
   amounts of RAM used.

Many thanks to Dan Wallach <dwallach@soda.berkeley.edu> for the original

assistance with Dan's versions, Ed Vielmetti <emv@msen.com> for many
fine suggestions, Randal L. Schwartz <merlyn@iwarp.intel.com> and Larry
