I am looking for a network newsreader (nntp client software) for both Mac and 
IBM micros. It need not be the same package for the Mac as the IBM (although 
it would be nice). I am familiar with the hypercard version for the Mac 
floating around the net but the package is not sufficent for our needs. 

It would be nice to find a public domain version or shareware version if 
possible but if you know of other packages, please forward any information.

There will be a combination of 170 Mac's & IBM's using these packages so if
you have any information on any license requirements or site licensing, I 
would be appreciate it if you could send that on as well. 

Someone mentioned Mews from MIT, TheNews and NewsView for the Mac. I don't
know anything about these packages so if you have any info or experience 
with them, please forward that as well. Are these public domain or shareware?


Any and all help is much appreciated.
