Trn v1.0 was mailed to comp.sources.unix last Sunday, so it will show up in a few weeks (be patient). If you want to get a jump on the crowd, you can use anonymous ftp to log into caesar.cs.montana.edu, cd to /pub/trn, set mode to binary, and grab the file trn.tar.Z. Jaye Mathisen asks that you restrict your access to after 5 pm MDT, so please honor his wishes. If any problems are noticed with FTP service, send e-mail to: osyjm@caesar.cs.montana.edu (Jaye Mathisen) For those that missed what trn _is_, it is a threaded newsreader based on rn. "Threaded" means that it processes the reference lines and organizes the articles into "threads of discussion" that take on the shape of a tree. In addition, the newsreader as a handy thread selector/browser to speed your travel through the high volume news groups. It requires the maintenance of a thread database, which will require around 5% of your spool partition in disk space on any partition (if you decide to thread all newsgroups). -- Wayne Davison \ /| / /|\/ /| /(_) davison%drivax@uunet.uu.net davison@drivax.UUCP (_)/ |/ /\|/ / |/ \ ...!uunet!drivax!davison (W A Y N e)
