I'm searching for a PC-Based Usenet news reader.
Would anyone please send me any information they have on
such an animal? If any of you are using such a thing
already, I'd be very interested in your impressions, likes &
dislikes.
Please send mail directly to me at either SNMS4@UNTVAX on
BITNET or SNMS4@VAXA.ACS.UNT.EDU on the Internet, so I won't
miss your replies. I'll summarize to the Net.
Thanks,
-Kevin Mullet

The problem with pcnews is that it is PC-NFS based. You have to be able to mount a the /usr/spool/news of a unix machine onto a DOS machine. What I would like to see is a version that works with a local NNTP server, and has ethernet support using the FTP packet driver spec. That way anyone with a ethernet card, a packet driver and a NNTP server availible can read, and probably post news. Hope someone comes up with something. +-----------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Bill Poitras | Polygen Corporation | {princeton mit-eddie | | (bill) | Waltham, MA USA | bu sunne}!polygen!bill | | | | bill@polygen.com | +-----------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------+

Let's hear it for a posted Waffle! (Extra syrup on mine, please!) Seriously, I would appreciate a posted Waffle, since we don't have ftp capability, and my home modem is shot.

This would be the MS-DOS version. *nix'rs still must contact the author for a copy. In the meantime, I'll email segments.
