I have SNews/2, although I don't use it.  This is not due to any problems
with SNews itself, but because my editor of choice (Anke-Berg Wotsit's
SEDT), which runs in OS/2 and DOS modes, only runs as full-screen in
OS/2, and I *hate* the switching back and forth when I start composing a
reply.  Some day I must get around to making it work in a VIO box as
well; he's given me the sources.
