Version 13 of RssPoint

Updated 2004-06-23 17:12:40

Michael Jacobson (16/06/2004) ~ This application displays RSS news feeds in folders. Each of these items can be clicked and the corresponding webpage displayed in the browser (MSIE). NOTE: This application is MsWindows only as it uses optcl to embed MSIE as the web browser.

Here is a current picture of the application.

And if you want to see my current progress, a starkit snapshot of the code is here [L1 ].

Updated Build (23/6/04)

male - 16 June 2004:

How do I update the RSS tree to contain the current information? Or does this happen automatically?

MPJ - 21 June 2004:

The new version now does every 5 minutes for each RSS feed. Or you can right click on a tree element and select a manual update.
