Version 11 of RssPoint

Updated 2004-06-22 19:57:05

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.

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.
