There are two nntp based news readers I know of
o Hypercard netnews reader stack (v1.2.1) available through APDA
o TCP Connect II (I'm waiting on my copy to arrive :-) from
Intercon Systems Corporation. - includes mail, ftp etc etc

Apple's HyperCard stack will import & export .newsrc files (although you have to ship the back and forth yourself). Ours currently does not. -- Amanda Walker, InterCon Systems Corporation -- "Y'know, you can't have, like, a light, without a dark to stick it in... You know what I'm sayin'?" --Arlo Guthrie

Maybe this is a niave question, but do any/all of these work for someone (me, that is) connected to a unix host via modem? (ie I have no direct connection to the host) If not, does anyone know of one that will do this? I would ideally like to be able to have something automatically dial up my host and download all the news at some pre-set time, when I'm not around, so when I get back, it's all there!

But it will work. :-) Kurt --
