The Netnews Reader hypercard stack written by Harry Chesley is of interest
to many netnews readers. It is bundled with a HyperTCP developer's kit
from APDA, which sells for about $30 and requires MacTCP to operate. I
cannot find anything in the docs with it that comment on the copyright or
distribution status of this stack. Is the news reader stack available
for free distribution or do users need to purchase the developer's kit
thru APDA (many of whom have no interest in C source code for TCP or in
joining APDA) ?

I walked down the hall and asked Harry. He says that the stack is free, redistribute it as you will. Note that MacTCP is *NOT* free; there is either an individual charge or site license fee which must be paid. You also need to set up an NNTP server with which the netnews reader stack can communicate. --Brian Bechtel blob@apple.com Advanced Technology Group

I have not got around to sending for it, but offhand, does anyone now the cost of a site license for MacTCP? Is it worth it? It seems more and more applications are using it. If you but the current version, will upgrades be included (once), or if not, will a nominal charge be given to those who bought it. -- Louis McDonald Internet: louis@aerospace.aero.org The Aerospace Corporation 213-336-8914

Is it worth it? A site license for MacTCP is $1000. (so I heard....) Single license: $100. ..Vincent + Vincent Schonau ..

If the stack is freely distributed, could someone please mail me a copy or tell me where it is archived for FTP?
