Also known as: NEWGROUPS
Lists newsgroups created on a server since a given date, letting a newsreader show what is new without downloading the entire active file again. Servers derive the answer from creation timestamps, so a group that was carried late may appear long after it was actually created elsewhere. Newsreaders typically run it at startup and offer any new groups for subscription.
