So it does!  Thanks for encouraging me to look at it again...slightly
ironic that this is included given the attitude of INN folk to NEWNEWS.

I did manage to track Stephen down earlier in the year, but as yet no
sign of the new (GPL'd) slurp.  Unfortunately the existing copyright
precludes someone else disrtributing a new version of slurp.  I
understand your preference for something which has an active development
team: intertia has so far prevented me from making any signficant
changes to my news arrangements here.  That said, the patched slurp and
cnews seem to be working just fine.
