Hi everyone,

It's great to see so much talk about X-based newsreaders, so I looked
recently at the Xnews home page, and found no support at all for the main
stomping ground of X-based machines - Unix. Not even a Solaris version.

Did I miss something?

To date I've never used X-based newsreaders because I like PINE and NN, but
they are quite limited for multimedia support, and since MIME is fairly-much
an industry standard now, I am looking for decent X-based news clients.

So, what is available in the X-based news client department which supports
Unix, in particular Solaris (OpenWindows - aka standard X11R6)? If anything
is available, it has to be offered in at least source form before I'd
consider using it.

TIA for advice, etc. you can offer.

Regards,

Craig.
