____________________
Installation:
	Unzip the files to a location of your choice.
____________________
How to Use?
	Just double clic the hta file, choose the folder where the news files are.
The script will not delete orginal files: It will create two folders: 
One with the "Clean Y-News" and the other one with the "Non Y-News".
That way clean files will be sorted but for full safety, no file are deleted.
Those in "Non Y-News" may require further manual cleaning.
_______________________
Known Bug
With the last design on the Y! website, it became more and more complicated to erase useless text.
Furthermore I'm using the SaveEasyTxt Maxthon plugin (see my Maxthon plugins from my website) to save the webpages, and the text result is slightly different.
