Personally, it sounds to me like a book on the user's perspective on reading
usenet is needed.  I thought Nutshell already has one - if so, perhaps
rather than duplicating/updating the info there in your book, you should
propose an update or separate new book dealing with reading the news.  Many
usenet news users don't know whether they are using internet or something
else to get the news articles.

Some of my users of tin have asked about various attribute options when
replying or following-up to an article, including the ability to 
attribute the date, the newsgroup, the organization, and the article subject
(useful when changing the subject in a follow-up).

Also, startting with PL1, I have used '*' to denote unread articles at the
article selection level, as well as various other characters for other
article states. While these suit my liking, I have heard more than one
grumble.

It would be nice to see these settable on a per-user (or per-group, which now
seems to be in fashion) basis via the tinrc.

Sorry, I was a little ambiguous about that. Essentially, I was referring to

Yes. I use '*' for unread, '!' for hot, and '-' for marked to return. Other

SunOS 4.1.2 includes patch number 100170-06 (ld). It then discloses other
bugs in OW3.0 libraries Xmu and Xt. You can order patch number
100512-02 and 100573-03.

If you use X11R5, check your configuration file (mit/config/sun.cf) and be
sure you defined SunPost411FCSLd to YES.

Nice one :-)

Well, Zerberus is another network-protocol different from
the internet-protocol (uucp/uucico). In Europe and Germany
it is quite common because it is availble for MS-DOS, UNIX,
AmigaDOS, AtariTOS, etc. Connecting a home-computer to a
Zerberus host is very simple and cheap, because the polling/
news&mail-reading Software is in the public-domain for all
Micros, except for the Macintosh -- that lacks a Zerberus-
Software. That's the reason for my request.

With the exception of TCP/Connect, the mac newsreaders are either free or
shareware ($25-$30). IMHO, the best one is NewsWatcher which is available

nn is a poor example.  It represents a philosophy of news reading different
from that of most other news readers:  "No news is good news."  rn isn't a
bad example because it's what all news readers are compared to.  On the
otherhand you might be best off going with something basic like "readnews".

You'll surely burn in hell if anyone reading your book starts

Nothing to difficult (given time). PL5 will mainly be a bug fix release
with the exception that I am adding automatic detection of new newsgroups
so the -n command line switch is gone.

In the process of writing my thesis I find that I am saving an awful
lot of news articles. I've already got 5 meg of them, and I have
another 18 months to go before I can delete anything. At this rate I
am going to be very unpopular with my sysadmin before the end of the
year :(

What I would like to do is download the news articles that I want to
keep to my PC (a 386-40 running DOS 5) and read them there. I suppose
that I could look at everything in Word for Windows, but it would make
it rather difficult to find particular articles easily and quickly. A
DOS newsreader would make everything a lot easier.

So - is there one? And if so where could I find it?

Would that it were that simple.  The reason why C News doesn't do this
checking is that *it's hard*.  You can't just check for string equality
or any simple variation thereon -- B News (and perhaps other software
as well) routinely rewrites From headers in particular.  It is extremely
difficult to define a matching algorithm which has a high probability of
letting legitimate cancels work -- that is important -- while rejecting
bogus ones.

We agree.  It's not.

The crucial words are not "anyone can forge news" but "this is a lot of

  The version of rn that I have, which was obtained from lib.tmc.edu, is:

@(#)$Id: rn.c,v 4.4.4.1 1992/02/23 21:25:39 sob PATCH_4 sob $
Patchlevel 4
Send bugs to rrn@lib.tmc.edu (...!uunet!bcm!rrn)

  Checking the code of rn.c, I see that this problem has been fixed.
