[alt.sources] TASS 3.2 - also for small Coherent

joachim@jrix.radig.de (Joachim Riedel) (04/20/91)

Hi,

You shouldn't pass by TASS 3.2 - as :  "Just another newsreader...".
You should try it. It also fits for small unixes. It is easy to port to
Coherent (the $ 100 UNIX) and I think there will be a port to comp.os.minix.

Coherent Users: you should try porting. With a little C-Knowledge you 
need less than 1 hour to port it. Use fixstack 2000 tass
But I will post patches in some days to comp.os.coherent.

Thanks to Rich for his excellent work.

Joachim

PS: Rich, I will mail you the results for Coherent (articles per group)
as soon as possible.

I looked at it (on Esix Rev D), and really liked it.  But when I tried
to use it "for real", I found that it didn't mark read articles, didn't 
properly show me "new" articles, and didn't keep track of read articles.

Maybe I'm doing somethign wrong?  I hope so, because Tass looked pertty good.
