Hello Jeff,

I have modified tcllib1.11 package nntp 0.2.1.
Now it uses [fileevent] model, which allows async connection, timeout
and other features.
Also I have made various cleanups.
My version supports only RFC 977 commands, but I can easily extend it
with non-standard commands.

The idea is to make the same modification to all tcllib modules like
pop, ftp, smtp and etc.
Also I can try to modify each of these packages to be full compatible
with RFC.

I attach Gzip archive with my version of nntp.
I am not tcl expert, so if you have any suggestions to improve my code,
you are welcome.
If my code is useful to you, you can include this package to tcllib as
nntp 0.2.2 or whatever.

Regards,

Igor
