i had a look after i had written my previous message... GIGO and friends
are OS/2 but the sources for at least GIGO are available and may be
portable to winwhatever... i don't know... there are others available but i
do not know them... pcmike (aka mike ehlert at pcmicro) might have some
ideas, though...

no, it is best to do that before the messages are posted to the JAM base...

1. tool downloads news and filters the posts by its killfile

3. your normal FTN tosser tosses the filtered converted messages to
whatever message base format your system uses
