There seem to have been a flurry of different Beta releases in May 
1998 shortly before Panacea ceased to exist .  The most common one is 
certainly 1.50 Beta 1.

As you may have discovered Pronews suffers a variety of y2k problems. 
The good news is that a patch file has been created that corrects the 
most serious ones.  You can find the correspondence about the fix on 
comp.os.os2.apps.  The fix can be found on 
http://www.tavi.co.uk/os2pages/  My advice is to stick with 1.50Beta 1
with the patch applied.  I've only been using Pronews a couple of 
months and will now  register it.
