[comp.sys.next] A pretty window-ed rn for NeXT?

gregb@dowjone.UUCP (Gregory S. Baber) (02/07/90)

Hello,
	Sorry if this has been asked, (I looked everywhere) but has anyone
	done a NeXT version of ``rn'' or the like that a non-programmer type
	like an exec can use? Even if it is incomplete, I'd be willing to
	help out a little.

	An ftp site would be OK. Respond by email and I'll summarize.

I don't know of a NeXTStep "rn" but there is, however, a very nice news reader called "GNUS" that runs under GNUEmacs.  It is much friendlier and powerful than "rn".  It also hooks into a remote news server protocol called "NNTP" (News-to-News Transfer Protocol)  With NNTP you can have one computer with a newsfeed that servers news to other NeXT's.

p.s.	I am using GNUS 3.12 right now.
