Sorry if this is a duplicate posting, I forgot to crosspost to the other  
groups the first time.

First of all, thanks for the replies.

Well, of the four replies I got to my posting about newsreader software  
for the next, three recommended getting trn.  So that's what I'm going  
with.

Steve Boker had this to say:

So, the only thing I'm worried about now is whether I'll need nntp or not,   
As this is a stand-alone machine using flat files for my news.  I just use  
newsgrazer, but I have some friends dialing in...

Thanks again,

Robert
