I am looking for a news-system being able to connect my Coherent to USENET. TASS 3.2 should work with COHERENT, but this is only a newsreader. Is any news-s/w available out there? thanx, Ulrich Cyrus ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulrich Cyrus W-4000 Duesseldorf, FRG +49-211-4370325 cyrus@virusdd.GUN.de

I've successfully compiled and tested cnews, but have not yet gotten a feed. An older version of rn is also available. mwcbbs has Cnews - a 700+K tar file. Since the original poster was from Germany, it should be available on piggy, but I can't access piggy (even though I live 1/2 mile from it!) just yet. About Cnews and rn - just be prepared for LOTS of hard disk activity! -Nathan Lane Digital Technology Service Santa Barbara, CA

Hey, is anyone making this stuff available for those who don't have FTP access? Downloading Cnews from mwcbbs would cost me more than Coherent did!

The current version of Cnews for Coherent was made from September 1990 sources. I now have all the sources and patches to bring it up to the most current patch date. I have been waiting to see if there are any problems, before I start hacking away. >Hey, is anyone making this stuff available for those who don't have FTP >access?

He can give you the current stuff if you send him some floppies. My source directories aren't really in good shape for tarring up and compressing.
