Interacting with cnfs

Hi all,

I was thinking about a report I did for my older server, which used the
tradspool storage method, and that was to count how many articles are
in a group and list how many new articles have been added since last
run.

I can't see a way to make this happen using cnfs without pulling the
storage token using a similar method as 6.4 in the FAQ and then
manually parsing the newsgroups line from each article.

Do we have any better tools for interacting with cnfs...or if not,
should we?

A similar thought that when looking for text, I could grep through a
group or set of groups. Not sure this would even be possible with cnfs
either?

open to thoughts...suggestions...discussion?
