/***
 * The NewGroupsOrNewsQuery class.  This is used to issue NNTP NEWGROUPS and
 * NEWNEWS queries, implemented by
 * 
 * listNewNewsGroups  and
 * 
 * listNewNews  respectively.  It prevents you from having to format
 * date, time, distribution, and newgroup arguments.
 * 

* You might use the class as follows: *

 * query = new NewsGroupsOrNewsQuery(new GregorianCalendar(97, 11, 15), false);
 * query.addDistribution("comp");
 * NewsgroupInfo[] newsgroups = client.listNewgroups(query);
 * 
* This will retrieve the list of newsgroups starting with the comp. * distribution prefix created since midnight 11/15/97. *
