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.

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

If you are running NewsGrazer via remote nntp (meaning you dont store the news  
on your machine) then you can run trn in the same mode without *building* nntp.   
You *will* need the source for nntp on your machine when you build trn, because  
trn uses a few files from that source.  nntp source is available in several  
places on the net.
