[net.news] Of digests and newsreaders - try out mine

bobm@rtech.UUCP (Bob Mcqueer) (05/21/86)

For the last couple years I've used my own newsreader, and had other
people respond favorably and use it as well.  I was going to post it
to net.sources, then "rn" came out, and I decided not to.  After some
deliberation, and in light of this discussion on digests, I decided
what the heck.  Among the features I have is digest unpacking, handled
in a way reasonably consistent with the rest of my interface.  That
interface is different than the other readers, aimed at rapid perusal
of a lot of news, most of which you don't want to look at.  I offer
it not as a replacement for anything, but as an alternative reader
I like to use, and you might like to give a try.  Posted as "vn" in
net.sources.
