Changes Vr. 1.18 (2004-09-14)

• New: Added the new script command "HamWebReader" to load RSS/XML feeds (version 0.91, 1.0 and 2.0) and Atom/Blog feeds (version 0.3) into a newsgroup.
  
  The script command loads the feed from the internet and converts it to plain text. If the text has changed since it was loaded the last time, it is stored in a newsgroup.
  
  All files that are not recognized as one of the mentioned formats are treated as being normal HTML files. The text generated out of such files may be readable, but in most cases isn't ...
  
  Examples:
  
  # News on www.elbiah.de (RSS 2.0):
HamWebReader( "http://www.elbiah.de/news.xml" )

# Google's message summary of hamster.en.misc (Atom 0.3):
# Note: Link might change as this is only a beta test of Google.
HamWebReader( "http://groups-beta.google.com/group/hamster.en.misc/feed/msgs.xml" )
   
• New: Added a new script named "RssFeedGenerator.hsc" to create a RSS 2.0 feed file from the messages of a newsgroup. See inline documentation for details.
