We are looking for a news reader for the mac. We've got a central sun server supplying nntp news to remote A/UX machines. The users are using rn for reading, and all goes well. But what about my poor mac folks? I have a gbox running gshare 1.6, so I can export the news directory, but I'd rather the mac's get their news directly. Our router is an Apple Internet Router, if that makes any difference. 1) Is there a direct phase two compatible scheme for this? 2) Do I have to run CAP in a phase one zone for this? 3) Please don't tell me I have to run rn under NCSATelnet!!! -- Greg Maples | These are my opinions, not yours.

I checked on apple.com, but I couldn't find it. >-- >= John DeRosa, Motorola, Inc, Cellular Infrastructure Group = >= e-mail: ...uunet!motcid!derosaj, motcid!derosaj@uunet.uu.net = >= Applelink: N1111 = >=I do not hold by employer responsible for any information in this message = -- David Huang | "Calzoni Pizza: Internet: daveh@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu | Delivery in six UUCP: ..!ut-emx!ccwf.cc.utexas.edu!daveh | hours, or else your America Online: DrWho29 | pizza is cold."

It requires a license. I believe the kind souls who wrote the Eudora mail program made arrangements to have a licence to redistribute MacTCP. You can get Eudora (and consequently MacTCP) from ux1.cso.uiuc.edu in the mac/eudora directory. You can get a HyperCard Net News Reader stack via the Apple Programmer's and Developer's Association as part of the HyperCard MacTCP Toolkit. Or on the Developer CD. Once you have licensed MacTCP you are able to use any MacTCP app without further license. I believe this info to be correct, if you know of any inaccuracies let me know. Now how do we get this in the Frequently asked questions.....
