Sounds really great. Shareware too? Or Commercial? How about Fidonet and/or UUCP support too?

That'd be a good >idea, wouldn't it? Why not consider it? Yes, good point. You see, we here have a PC-based BBS, and I asked the programmer to add this feature and it turned out to be very easy to implement.

I havent >seen any BBS programs that are similar to this. Actually, under trn, I don't even bother to maintain a "kill" file. It's much faster for me to just select what I want to read rather than let the computer search through the group for me. (I'm on a slow host). This is what trn does.... it presents me with a menu like this: ******** 8 unread articles in comp.sys.amiga.applications--read now? [+ynq] [screen clears] comp.sys.amiga.applications 8 articles a+Peter Kittel GER 1 >New BBS? b ray.c.jender 2 >need driver for Epson ES 300C scanner Harv Laser c Michael Mounier 1 >HD backup utilities? d Robert A. Little 1 D-Net 2.10 e Charles Davis 1 Excellence! or Pen Pal with Pro Page 1.3 f JOHN ROSNOW 1 Sound Program g+LORETI, Maurizio 1 ProVector -- Select threads -- All [Z>] -- ...as is denoted by the "+" signs, I selected the threads I wanted to read by pushing the keys "a" and "g". (I have VT100 emulation). I see nothing more of the other threads. As a result, I can go through newsgroups VERY quickly. I can tell at a glance what to read and what not to read, instead of having to read the five+ line header of EACH unread article, as is done under rn. I figure I save at LEAST half of my time using trn rather than using rn. I would LOVE to have a menu-like thread selector on my local BBS. >**********************************PiRho**************************************** >"All power comes from the barrel of a gun" // >sss10@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu \\ // Amiga makes it possible > \X/ -- ...Cheng rcheng@torag.guild.org rcheng@torag.uucp
