# newsstat.pl version 0.4.1

############################################################################
# Collect statistics about a newsgroup (specified by first argument) in
# the local news spool. Check all articles in the last 30-day period.
# Rank posters by number of posts and by volume of posts, report on top and
# bottom 20 posters. Show their name, number of posts, size of posts,
# percentage of quoted lines. Rank user-agents used, by poster rather than
# by post. Rank top 20 threads. Rank top 10 cross-posted groups.
#
# (Numbers and paths can be configured below.  -- PE)
