[comp.protocols.nfs] Net News Readers for PC-NFS

sob@bcm.tmc.edu (Stan Barber) (09/16/90)

There are a couple of net news readers available via anonymous ftp from
bcm.tmc.edu in the nfs directory. One is a version of red, a simple
net news reader included with the PC/IP distribution from MIT. It is 
called news.exe.uu in the archive. It is uuencoded.

The second is somewhat better. It is called netnews.tar.Z in the archive.

I am sorry that I cannot make the available in anyother form at this time.

Both require PC-NFS to work.

Enjoy,

Do these use nntp or a mounted file system to access the articles?

You can make it foolproof, but you can't make it damnfoolproof.

They both use NNTP.
