A new version of my NewsView news reader is now available for FTP from iraun1.ira.uka.de, in directory /pub/mac. Currently it's 1.0d5. This version still can't post articles, and has problems: missing features, too many list redraws, and certainly some lingering bugs. However, I'm reading NetNews with it already... Please read the README.NewsView file before downloading NewsView.

Matthias, I loved your first version. One time when I selected Quit from the file menu it said something like "Can not complete request do to program error." I thought that was pretty funny. But overall I like the concept. Keep up the good work. -- ___________________________________________________________ Matthew Mora | my Mac Matt_Mora@sri.com SRI International | my unix mxmora@unix.sri.com ___________________________________________________________

Keep up That's a standard MacApp error message. The "Cannot complete your request" is the default if MacApp doesn't have a description of the operation that failed, and the "due to a program error." is the default if it doesn't have an explanation of the error code. -- Larry Rosenstein, Object Specialist Apple Computer, Inc. 20525 Mariani Ave, MS 3-PK Cupertino, CA 95014 AppleLink:Rosenstein1 domain:lsr@Apple.COM UUCP:{sun,voder,nsc,decwrl}!apple!lsr

(I knew it...) BTW, 1.0d6 is available now; it fixes the ever-present "Hell, is that piece of code really in an unlocked segment?" bug. Here it applies to my MacTCP notification procedure. (That one is a great way to make the CommandShell crash with a "Can't load that segment" bomb. :-( FYI, the CommandShell is something that runs under A/UX and doesn't have any segments, being an A/UX program.) -- Matthias Urlichs -- urlichs@smurf.sub.org -- urlichs@smurf.ira.uka.de /(o\ Humboldtstrasse 7 - 7500 Karlsruhe 1 - FRG -- +49-721-621127(0700-2330) \o)/
