Like what? I find NewsGrazer exceptional, one of the best NeXT apps I have. I've used rn and nn, and YUCK, they are ugly, hard to use, and nearly impossible to discover "nice features" as you call them. Also, they are a lot harder to install. (i.e. they require installation, where newsgrazer you just double-click) I've also used InterNews on macintosh, and find NewsGrazer superior. Please enlighten me what I am missing. (Can nn handle NeXT attachments the way newsgrazer can? Also, in newsgrazer I can select several articles, select uudecode from a menu (or hit cntrl-U), and then just double click an icon, and zip I have a picture or a sound. I could go on...) fermat@fermat.dartmouth.edu
