[comp.sys.mac.apps] HyperCard netnews reader works, but TheNews 2.02 won't

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting TheNews 2.02 to work.  My HyperCard netnews 
reader stack works fine.  I seem to remember TheNews 1.4 worked fine too.  
As far as I can tell, I've got the configuration correct.  The error 
occurs when I try to connect to the server: it just sits there and then 
times out.

Config: SE/30, system 6.0.5, many INITs, connected to servia via ethernet 
and a FastPath 4 to LocalTalk.  Also tried on a Mac II with an ethernet 
card with the same results.

Any suggestions?

TheNews 2.04 should be posted to Sumex soon says its author.  I have a copy of
it and have had no problems since upgrading from 2.02 to 2.04.

p.s. Don't ask me for a copy.  When the final version is complete, it will be
posted to Sumex.
