I've heard several people lately talking about having CNEWS ported by someone-or-another. Is there a confirmed, solid port of CNews for the Amiga? I don't own or operate on a UN*X machine but I hear that CNews is quite impressive (ie. can't tell when it's running, very fast, reliable, flexible). Does the Amiga version have these same characteristics? Where can I get it? I'm running the GNews version of RNews by Gregory Kritsch on a base of UUCP v1.03D (I'm installing 1.08D today) with some features of //\\miga-UUCP+ as well (Maps). Is the CNews implimentation as good as Greg's News? (If anyone else has it :-) -- Craig Lemon - Kitchener, Ontario.

(If anyone else has it :-) There are a few advantages of Each. The Cnews port (Which is what I THINK is supplied with 1.08D) has Compressed news, but has a problem with Cross-posted messages. (Multiple copies going into Rejects). With Greg's News, you don't yet have Compressed news. Now which problem is handled first is yet to be seen. I myself am likely to continue with Greg's news processor as I more fully understand the source and can then be of more help to Greg. As well, Greg is working on a Shared library for message bases with the Welmat/Fidonet developers group, so his news software will have some interesting features.
