Didn't anybody notice the article posted by sdcrdcf!lwall (1111@sdcrdcf)
who said he had *rewriten* readnews? It seemed to do everything the news
software does better, only better. He was looking for people to beta-test
it on small/unusual machines. He intends to post it soon, too! Seems like
the works been done....
I may be missing something... is there some more software in between inews
and readnews which is really the trouble (i.e. does inews arrange to call
the sites who deliver news to me, and to whom I deliver news, or is there a
program I don't know about)? The man pages show a 'recnews' and 'sendnews'.
Are those the real culprits?
Anyway, I think that this discussion is good, and will eventually even
produce some good results. Keep it up!
