The b in NewsWatcher 1.3bx stands for beta.  This version of Newswatcher is
still in beta test.  Many of us objected to the user interface departures,
and those have been dropped, I believe, in the new incremental version.  If
you don't like betaware, then stick with 1.0.2 and wait till 1.3 final
comes out.  No matter what though, it is still hard to beat the price.
