Several people in our facility have expressed an interest in features that they
have seen in the Notes software as opposed to the current version of News.

Once before I asked about "notes" and I got back a lot of replies that were to
the effect of "notes is dead, use netnews" and up to this point, I have had no
problems with that.  BUT, I need the added functionality that exists in notes
and not in netnews.

The features wanted are:  

		Thread support -- Being able to follow a thread BOTH backwards
				  and forwards from ANY point.
			       -- Begin able to save a complete thread into a
				  file from any point in the thread.
			       -- Being able to "FREEZE" a thread so that no
				  more notes can be posted to a certain topic.


Will these features be available in TMNEWS or news 3.0?  If so, where can I get
these packages?

If not, what is the latest version of NOTES, and where can I get it?

We are currently running news 2.11.17 with nntp, and if necessary, we may run
notes beside news if that is possible.

Thanks,
