SSRSS - Super Simple RSS Syndication Software

This is the source code repository for SSRSS.  It's a ten year old source repository now, and is crufty.  The source should be easy to read and is pre-RSS or XML libraries i.e. imperfect hand-rolled reading.  This means it is only guaranteed to read RSS feeds it creates itself.  That said this is still a useful tool for the absolute beginner, and should provide an interesting source for folks interested in old windows software

About the software:
