Finally my tolerance of Turnpike's quirks has expired.   (It trashed my
'usernews' file, it's record of which articles I've read, etc...) 


As a little detour whilst looking at other packages, I want to see how
difficult it would be to write my own news reader/collector.  Obviously
I have RFC977 (& 850!), but I'm sure there must be supplementary
material, (eg descriptions of XOVER & XHDR).  I'd appreciate suggestions
of what to read & where to find it.  :-)

In the event that I venture down this path suggestions of some public
news servers to test against would be useful too.  (By email if you
prefer.)


Cheers,
      Tony
