Trying to extract the code or even read the code in the daja.com
representation seems impossible. Either I am an old-fashioned ascii
formatting fetishist or just to stupid to figure out, how to display
a deja article in simple plain ascii. Looking at the source of
this article: the entire script is put into one line.....

Maybe that's the price we have to pay for all the "non-computer-people"
in the internet, but I think with each change deja gets less and less
useful (at least for me). 

Does anybody know another news database with a more (white space sensitive)
programing language friendly interface?
