This application displays [RSS] news feeds in folders.  Each of these items can be clicked and the corresponding webpage displayed in the browser.  

'''NOTE:''' This application is MsWindows only as it uses [optcl] to embed MSIE as the web browser. It is based on code from [WippleWobble - A Mini Web Browser (for Windows)] and [A little XML browser].
