[news.software.b] Vnews versions

roskos@IDA.ORG (Eric Roskos) (08/29/89)

Is there anyone out there still using the old artfile-based vnews? We
use it here, but the artfile programs seem to have bugs in them that I
haven't been able to track down, and I'm wondering if there are newer
versions (this is the original release of it, which seems to have no
version number or date).  I know a "stripped down" version of vnews,
without the artfile, was posted awhile back, but it doesn't seem to do
as much as the original. 

I wrote to Kenneth Almquist awhile back to ask him about it, but got no
reply.  It's still the best news reader around, in my opinion, due to
the index page that lets you move around randomly (but not blindly) in a
newsgroup.
