Title: Moreover PHP API
Author: Michael Bell (mikeb@map.com)
Based upon news_parser written by Carter Comunale (carter@brasscity.com)
Version: 1.0
Date: July 10th, 2001
Description: This collection of classes are my attempt to create a complete
API in PHP to the Moreover.com content syndication service. It
has the ability to retrieve a listing of all current content
channels and categories as well as retrieve all articles for
those categories.
Classes: Moreover - Main API class
moreoverChannel - Channel class
moreoverCategory - Category class
moreoverArticle - Article class
