[comp.sys.next] News reading

drin@nro.cs.athabascau.ca (Adrian Smith) (04/29/91)

I have a question for all the news gurus out there. I recently managed to 
get a bigger drive on my slab, and have uucp net access (rather than 
one-at-a-time reading like I do now). I understand my uucp access is 
useless without rnews (or rn - something like that). Can someone tell me 
exactly what I need to get decent uucp news capabilities up and running 
on my slab? I've gone through SysAdmin, and can get the packets, but what 
then? Am I supposed to have rn, and it's missing? Can I ftp it from 
somewhere? (This would be best). What about programs like NewsGrazer? I 
understood that it was only useful if you were directly on the net. Will 
it handle uucp feeds?
 
Thanks in advance,
