/***
 * The NewGroupsOrNewsQuery class.  This is used to issue NNTP NEWGROUPS and
 * NEWNEWS queries, implemented by
 * {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTPClient#listNewNewsgroups listNewNewsGroups }
 *  and
 * {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTPClient#listNewNews listNewNews }
 *  respectively.  It prevents you from having to format
 * date, time, distribution, and newgroup arguments.
 * <p>
 * You might use the class as follows:
 * <pre>
 * query = new NewsGroupsOrNewsQuery(new GregorianCalendar(97, 11, 15), false);
 * query.addDistribution("comp");
 * NewsgroupInfo[] newsgroups = client.listNewgroups(query);
 * </pre>
 * This will retrieve the list of newsgroups starting with the comp.
 * distribution prefix created since midnight 11/15/97.
 * <p>
