DISTRIBUTION

This program and its associated files are part of an evaluation

public domain.  If this program is used longer than a 45-day 
evaluation period, it must be registered.  The files that comprise the
NewsMonger evaluation package, or the NewsMonger archive file, may be
freely distributed or listed by software vendors as long as files in
the package are kept together and are not modified.  However, written
permission must be received to distribute NewsMonger on retail racks,
CD Roms, or bundled with any other product.

Disk Vendors, Shareware Distributors and BBSs may charge a nominal fee
for distribution of NewsMonger.  However, the recipient of the
software must be informed, in advance, that payment of the
distribution fee does not replace, reduce or eliminate the NewsMonger
Licensing requirement which applies to use after the evaluation
period.

Suggested Full Description:

TechSmith Corporation's NewsMonger agent for Microsoft Windows 95 & NT
provides complete monitoring of the Internet’s largest source of new
information, the USENET news service. NewsMonger supports multiple
searches, search scheduling and e-mail notification when new articles
matching your criteria are discovered. NewsMonger works with Digital’s
AltaVista search engine to provide a complete audit of the contents of
all newsgroups. Of course, your search criteria can limit matches to
specified newsgroups or exclude inappropriate newsgroups. After 
creating and scheduling your searches, you can continue with your 
other tasks -- NewsMonger will notify you or the appropriate person
when a new article meeting your criteria is discovered.

NewsMonger Features include:

o  Constructs and refines the search query, or allows you to
   directly create the query.

o  Supports dozens of queries and thousands of matching postings.

o  Searches USENET newsgroups for each of your active queries, using
   Digital’s AltaVista engine, on demand, or as scheduled by you.

o  Sends immediate notification via e-mail when new postings
   matching your criteria are discovered.

o  Provides direct viewing of the selected messages. You can also
   view them with your web browser or e-mail client.

o  Compose and send e-mail or post newsgroup replies directly from
   NewsMonger. Or use your web browser or e-mail client to reply.
