I've just installed 2.10.2. For those of you who were lazy,
like me, I STRONGLY recommend it! Some nifty features:
1) It knows about distributions, aliases, moderated groups.
2) Postnews is a C program, and is pretty smart.
3) Vnews! a readnews program for screens (curses based).
4) cbatchnews - a better news batcher.
5) probably other stuff I haven't discovered, yet.
Like some old advertisement said ...
"I switched, and I'm glad I did!"
(Thanks to gatech!spaf for pointing me to a repository of source!)
One reason I waited so long is that I was waiting for the oft-rumored
2.10.3. Where the heck is it?
Obviously, I gave up waiting, but am still interested.
Oh, I almost forgot. As those sharp-eyed among you noticed, (:-)
I'm posting this from kitc. The switch-over from eisx
that I announced last month has at long last been done. Whew.
Gee, I wish *I* had a cutey sign-off line ...
