BACKGROUND

This program reads XML and text-based "backend" headline syndication
files produced by several hundred producers of syndicated news
content. It gathers up the headlines from each producer and presents
them in a nice scrolling list. Clicking on a headline opens the full
story in your browser.  It is a clean and straightforward way to stay
in touch with the latest news from hundreds of news producers without
spending all day clicking.

Access to over 500 news sites is provided:
       * 171 are built in
       * 288 can be downloaded from the list at UserLand.com
       * 22 can be downloaded from the RSS Maker list
       * 74 can be downloaded from the XMLTree list

The user can add new sites, and the three syndication lists add more
content nearly every day.
