Hamster's help files are in HLP format and designed for the old
WinHlp32.exe; this format has not been supported since Windows Vista, and
WinHlp32 versions don't run after Windows 8. See
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607> for more information.

There are current help files in German as part of the Hamster Classic Beta
releases, see <https://hamster-classic.de/download:download> (you can use
Gogle Translate or Deepl). I don't have a source for current help files in
other languages.

Just give yourself some time to learn. Trust me, it's worth it. I've
been using Hamster for two decades now (before that, INN on a Real UNIX
TM system).

How is it actually used, I had a brief look at it but it seemed somewhat
complicated. Is it like leafnode on unixoid systems?

I don't know for the other versions, but Hamster-fr was very easy to use.
Unfortunately I think you can only find it on one of my old hard drives :)

I have not used Leafnode, but it is probably similar. Both are just a
'proxy' server. To your newsreader, Hamster looks like a news server. To
your real news server, i.e. in your case Eternal September, Hamster
looks like a newsreader.

I just had a look at the Help (for Hamster Classic) and I think you
should start with (assuming you already installed Hamster itself), or at
least can use the Help file):

Help -> Contents -> (optionally: A short introduction) -> Installation

I think it works like this:
Hamster downloads new articles on your account on a regular interval
You read those downloaded articles from Hamster (even offline)
"Posting a reply" puts the message into a message queue
Next time it fetches articles, it also posts the queue

It's mainly that, but Hamster can also accept regular feeds, which makes
it a real news server. And you can download from multiple servers, so you
will never miss any message.

Yes to both.

I found this but it's in french and outdated :

And it's not even the latest version (which must be from 2005 more or
less).

The heading is not very obvious, but in Hamster Classic's Help, it's

Hamster still very usefull.
I run Hamster Playground v1.25.2 for many years.

In my opinion, the helpfile is good, basically it cover every functions
with examples. Win 10 and 11 run it.

I have the hierarchy "hamster.*" with old posts. Have good tips from
the old users:

here's an intersting question I haven't found out yet: how long is the
interval and how do you change it? I don't seem to be able to find a
setting for that in Hamster (I just installed it) and have not found
anything in the manual yet.
From what I can see it should be defined by script within Hamster?

Hi Kyonshi,

(from Hamster Playground):

- In Hamster Control:
First you have to add a nntpserver, then

"Tasks" / "Setup User Tasks / Add" - give it a name and add the
nntpserver - Save

- "Tasks" / "Setup Scheduled Tasks / Add" -
Look for the Task you have created and save

This window will show all the options to configure that task.

[S]
Eduardo.
