Both readers will start up and select the groups just fine, but the application will disappear from the screen the moment I select an article for reading. So, I have resorted to reading news on a Sun Sparcstation sitting beside the NeXT. Does anyone know a NeXTstep nntp newsreader that will work under 3.0? This is no direct help to you, but I am running newsgrazer under 3.0 w/ nntp and having no problems. The news server is a sun sparc 2. Perhaps the problem is local. > > While I am at it, the more I use 3.0, the more I get pissed off! The server crashed twice in the last two days with a "Workspace Error 1000" ... what does it mean? Why isn't the user manual included on my 3.0 CD-ROM? Why doesn't Appleshare work as advertised? Hell ... it doesn't work at all! Is NeXT using paying customers to beta test NS 3.0? When will 3.1 be available? It better be a free upgrade! I'm runnning Appleshare and having no trouble printing or working w/ servers..... > > Joe > --- > Joseph Chin Prodigy Technologies Corp. I have to say, I've been very pleased w/ 3.0. I upgraded a networked color slab and a stand-alone color slab. The former w/ 20M of memory, the latter w/ 32M. Both have "just worked," and the perceived difference in speed between 2.1 and 3.0 has been very minimal for me . Given the contradictory accounts on this, one is forced to conclude that performance is very sensitive to the local environment. -- -Michael mgb@moksha.UUCP -- -Michael
