INTRODUCTION

As the name suggets this is a cache server for news. NewsCache
can help you in the following situations:
* reduce the required network bandwidth between the news feed and 
  your local network
* uses less hardware resources and can replace a leaf node news 
  servers
* allows to reduce the load on your news server
* gives you the possibility to provide local newsgroups in addition
  to those provided by your news feed
* allows you to cache newsgroups of different news servers giving 
  your users the impression of a single news server holding all 
  those newsgroups
* gives you the possibility to read news offline. Whenever you 
  connect to your internet provider all your spooled postings will
  be sent off to your news server and all the groups you wish to
  read will be transferred to your local cache
