Abstract
The real time checking of the enormous netnews articles, which are distributed through the TCP/IP based computer network (the Internet) systems from not only domestic but overseas areas, is quite significant because the valuable information will be readily acquired. However the conventional netnews systems do not support the urgent notification of the new arrival of the news articles. In the present paper, we shall first illustrate the mechanism of the network news distribution system and propose the epoch-making algorithm of the real time checking program of the new arrival news articles and implements that based on the nntpd daemon process, which knows the arrival of the new news at any time. The developed convenient utilities called as “cnn” (Check New News articles) and “xcnn” (X client for Check New News articles) are freely distributed through the Internet, acquire many users and are archived in various Internet utility CD-ROMs.
