Looks like a handy tool. I added a link to it at Wiki4D (http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?NewsDmD).

Here are some tools (written in D) that I've used:
Base64, http://www.dsource.org/tutorials/index.php?show_example=81
UUDECODE, http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D/4744

(1) Define the new server.
  ** Select the menu item "Settings"/"Servers, Identities, Signatures..."
  ** Select "NewsServers" from the list, click the "New" button.
  ** Give it a name. I've called mine "DigitalMars", click "Ok"
  ** Type in the host name "news.digitalmars.com" and click "Ok".
(2) Define an Identity
  ** Select the menu item "Settings"/"Servers, Identities, Signatures..."
  ** Select "Identities" from the list, click the "New" button.
  ** Give it a name, click the "Ok" button.
  ** Enter your name. This is the name that is displayed as the "From" name
in postings.
  ** Enter in an email address for postings. This is usually a false one to
fool spammers. ddparnell_at_@_bigpond_dot_._com
  ** Optionally enter in an email address for the Return To address when
you send emails.
  ** Click on the POP3 tab and enter in your POP3 server details.
  ** Click on the SMTP tab and enter in your SMTP server details.
  ** Click "Ok"
(3) Get a list of groups from the new News Server
  ** Select the menu item "Online"/"Get complete
grouplist(s)"/"DigitalMars"
  ** After a while, this process will finish.
  ** Select the tab "New" which is in the "Subscribed", "All", and
"Folders" tabbed pane. You will see all the groups in DigitalMars.
  ** Double click on the ones you wish to subscribe to.
  ** Select the menu "Online"/"Get new headers in subscribed groups"
  ** This will ask you the maximum number of headers to download.
  ** Next you will see in the Headers pane, all the downloaded headers.
  ** Either double click on any header to download its body, or press the
SpaceBar to download the next unread one.

Hope this helps.

There is no such thing like "dynamic rectangular arrays" in D, yet. You can have static rectangular arrays:

	int[13][42] myarray;

but dynamic multidimensional arrays like

	int[][] anotherarray;

are always 'ragged' arrays. I.e. each subarray may have another size. The implementation works on arrays of pointers to other arrays, which means that reshaping is generally not possible.

Ideas for real dynamic rectangular arrays are developed but will not go into D 1.0 anymore. Lets hope for future versions.

Ciao,
Norbert

There's no reason why the techniques I describe in Chapter 33, Multidimensional Arrays, of Imperfect C++ cannot be
applied, either in library or built-in form, to D at some point. Given that slices+GC help us in so many ways, D's
arguably
a much better suited language that C++
