  I had no trouble in getting THOR to work, but its documentation did
not cover what I needed to do.  Some helpful souls here made it possible
for me to use it.

  First, THOR needs lots of memory and hard drive space, but the docs
don't mention how much.  My 3 megs isn't enough to let it run perfectly
(1 chip, 2 fast).  Among the critical things not mentioned is that you
must deselect the GetConflist event if you don't have enough RAM to grab
it.  Once that is done, you can manually enter newsgroups to browse or
subscribe to.

  But other than the problems with memory, which can be worked around,
THOR itself works very well.  If THOR gives you an "out of memory"
message, that means it is time to quit, close all connections, and
reboot.  Continuing to use it after this warning risks more serious
malfunctions.  But since it will warn you with this message, you can
work around it.  And there is always the option to add more RAM.
