I've heard some rumors about a NetNews reader stack based on the MacTCP-driver.
Does anybody have any information about it? Where and when do I get it?

Where and when do I get it? It's available (or will be very shortly) from A.P.D.A. as a part of the HyperCard MacTCP Toolkit. (I'm writing this with it right now.) Note, however, that you must have an NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) server available on your network for it to work (usually, this is run on a Unix machine somewhere (we use both Vaxen and A/UX for servers here)).

Doesn't this border closely on discussing unreleased products? I'm not
pointing fingers, I just wouldn't want our dear HyperHack Harry to get in
trouble...

It's listed in the Summer APDA catalog that I received the other day, on page C-64. It's V1.0 and costs $20, but it requires MacTCP software (available separately for $100). * * ** Scott Robert Anderson gatech!emoryu1!phssra * * * ** phssra@unix.cc.emory.edu phssra@emoryu1.bitnet * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

This is usually run on a Unix machine, possibly using A/UX. I wouldn't want someone to buy the package and expect it to work stand-alone...
