On or about 16-Mar-96 03:59:58 Jay Swackhamer typed the following words about
"Amiga News readers?". My reply is thus...
Hi Jay,
JS> What news reading sotware is there available for me to get my hands on?
JS> Thor: tried it, but it seems to be overly complicated for just
JS> reading newsgroups... it also insists on reading in every *whole*
JS> article, so I'd face an hour or so collecting news items, of which I'd
JS> only read 10% of or so. I couldn't figure a way just to update the
JS> article subjects, so I could then pick & choose.
You can use the browse news feature of ConnectThor. It just gets the headers
and then you pick the articles to download.
JS> Mnews: this was a nice program; easy to use, does what
JS> I want; unfortunately in its current release, it's single-threaded and a
JS> bit buggy.
JS> I don't want to try those Elm and Tin readers, because they seem to
JS> want me to install UUCP.
