We have just recently rejoined the wealth of the usenet world after being offline for several months. Does anyone know where how we may access the latest source code for: "items which we are looking for, not known to exist": 1) A "news tool" for Sun Microsystems sunwindows environment. 2) A Unix spell checker simular to the Vax spelling checker. 3) A news scanner which can "precheck" the tons of new news for interesting items. "known to exist" programs: 1) elm (2.1?) 2) omega (latest= v0.71 ?) 3) umoria (latest= 4.87?) 4) pcmoria (lastest=?) Thanks for any help you may have to offer.

I have no idea what the VMS checker does. correct uses the UN*X dictionary, ispell uses it's own, and "suggests" the proper spelling. > 3) A news scanner which can "precheck" the tons of new news > for interesting items. There is a shell script called 'cn' that tells you how many articles are unread (uses your .newsrc file). It reports in three columns, so you can see how many articles are in the first 30 newsgroups with unread articles. -- Bruce Barnett
