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.
