Forte Agent Tools
Here you can download my "addons" for ForteAgent.
These utilities are written in Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, so you need
Visual Basic runtime files to use them. You can get them
-
from Microsoft (look for a version
that fits to your OS language)
-
from my homepage (only the German version, SP5): VBRUN60SP5.EXE (1,14
MB)

selected group is shown in the title bar.

"-#" before the newsgroup name.
-
Followup-To poster may be abbreviated by --#

X-Faces copied into

-
You can use F11 to show a window where you can select some actions (e.g.
jump to a parent article, copy Message-ID):

Other Agent tools:
These utilities are not written by
me, but somehow considered useful (although lots of them became obsolete
as AgtTools was finished).
