The NewsServer/X component can implement server-side communication based on the NNTP protocol. It allows Retrieval and Posting of News articles. The component allows complete arranging and management of Newsgroups. Once users connect to your server, events are fired to retrieve articles from your database, post new articles, check headers, etc. It is up to you whether you store articles in one file, separate files, databases, etc., as long as you keep track of them.Mabry Software designed the NewsServer/X component based on the NNTP protocol for transport, retrieval and posting of news articles. If you don't really know what a news server is, check out news://news.mabry.com and see for yourself. NewsServer/X deals with the server-side of the NNTP protocol. It sits and waits for clients to connect. Once connected, it sends a list of all available Newsgroups to the client. The Client subscribes to the groups of his interest, and reads the articles in that group.When NewsServer/X is first installed, you fill in information about all the Newsgroups that will exist on the server. You need to specify Newsgroup names, the number of articles allowed in groups, and a beginning and ending article index. That's all! NewsServer/X starts waiting for clients to connect and send requests.When an actual article is needed by the client, an Event is fired with enough information provided for you to find that article in your database (or any place it might be stored) and provide the article's contents to NewsServer/X. You can do it the old-fashioned way by assigning a string value to the article object's body. Even better, when articles are larger, you can create a Mabry IMStreamObject, and let NewsServer/X deal with the articles directly. This means load them when needed, release them when needed, examine them, search them, etc.Just by putting NewsServer/X on a form, providing Newsgroups information, and starting the server is enough for novice users to get started. In time, as your server matures and you need NewsServer/X to do more - no problem! An extended set of commands such as XOVER, XHDR, etc., is provided for faster article search. You can even avoid programming by setting NewsServer/X to 'auto' mode and it will do the work for you --- Posting, Crossposting, Canceling, Retrieval, Locating, Searching, Obtaining replies, handling Attachments, etc. Let NewsServer/X do the work for you!
