[news.software.nntp] NNTP client that directly connects to the news system

ricks@shambhala.Berkeley.EDU (Rick L Spickelmier) (05/06/88)

Has anybody cobbled together the NNTP client library 
and the NNTP server to make an NNTP client library that
talks directly to the news system (i.e. looks at the news
directories rather than going through the network).  There
are a few sites that have news installed (but not NNTP)
and would like to run XRN (an X-based NNTP news reader) 
without installing NNTP.
