Any body know where I can get an NNTP newsreader for the Mac?
I've heard of something called HyperNews which is supposedly on
sumex, but I couldn't find it. Anybody currently using anything
free that works well?
Thanks in advance,

HINT: give it 3 Mb of memory if your server has hundreds of newsgroups

Otherwise, you wait forever while it checks through the file for subscribed groups. I stopped using it because it seemed unreliable and is slow (back to XRN via Mac X - sigh). -- Philip Machanick philip@pescadero.stanford.edu
