Hi all,
I was curious to know if there is a newsreader for the Macintosh.
I read somewhere that there was something called HyperNews - a
Hypercard implementation or something, but I can't seem to find
anything that fits the description.  Any clues as to where I might

When the subject of the discussion mutates.  The Subject header should

Some people mutate the header in the following way:

But this is mostly for the human reader, since reasonable threading
newsreaders use the References header.

Edit the Subject header.  (If you can't figure out how to do this,

Newsgroup names are comma-separated (no spaces).  So your software
requires you to enter the name of the current group plus any others
(at the prompt).  If your editor allows you to change the Newsgroups
line, just add other groups, comma-separated.  It's also strongly
suggested that you set Followup-To: to just one (or at least a
reasonable subset) of the groups you crosspost to.  For example:

Newsgroups: news.newusers.questions,news.admin
Followup-To: news.newusers.questions

The name of the .sig file is newsreader-dependent.  RTM (Read the Manual).
Many newsreaders want .sig or .signature in your home directory.

Ask your newsadmin.  What's valid depends on your news configuration.
If your newsadmin doesn't know, ask him to ask your feed site(s).

On the other hand, there are lists maintained by andyb@wndrsvr.la.ca.us,

The unix util uncompress will decompress a file ending in .Z.  Often
you will find source code on the net with .tar.Z appended to the file.  This is an
archive which has been compressed with compress.  For an archive called
foo.tar.Z you could use the following to uncompress and unarchive the files,

	uncompress foo.tar.Z
	tar vxf foo.tar

this is like a two step equivalent to the DOS program pkzip and pkunzip.
To create an archive use,

	tar vcf foo.tar *
	compress foo.tar

this creates an archive called foo.tar with all of the files in the current
directory, and then compresses it to create foo.tar.Z.

You should also be able to find unix versions of pk[un]zip.  The one I have
is called zip/unzip.

That is something you'll have to ask your local news administrators.  The
clari.* newsgroups are a for-fee set of groups that a site may pay for and
received, containing real life news and such from UPI newswire.  Perhaps your
site decided not to pay for the groups.

Be mindful of the fact that many "test posters" are new to the net and
aren't *aware* of groups like misc.test. I didn't hear about it until
after several months of reading newsgroups. It doesn't take all that
much effort to press 'n' or 'j', does it?

   Wellcome !
   I would like to say that USENET is a wonderful thing.
   ( Because of it contains the newsgroup "alt.beer". )

   I'm going to use "nn" or "rn" for reading net news. ( I'm working on VAX
under Ultrix .)  So I would like to ask you two questions .

   I've read manual on "nn", but I've not found any way, by which I can
read the articles in oder of their creation ( but not receiving ) .
How I can do it ?

   Next question is about a newsgroup where I can learn about the young
people who have graduated from technical colleges. It's very interesting
for me as I've graduated from Moscow Engineering Physical Institute this year.
I'm interesting in computational methods in the mechanics of fracture .
Can you say anything about my colleagues in the my/other countries ?

A lot of people often make the mistake of thinking that logging on and
FTP'ing are the same thing.  To use FTP, you must run a totally different
program (usually simply 'FTP') than your normal login program (usually
'telnet').

   It's a pity that the experienced users insist on extracting the
   urine from the new users - or do you really believe the above Tony?

   To reply to a post and include the original text you can simply use
   the 'f' option - post a follow up article and you will be prompted
   to include the original article or not.  Alternatively if you want
   to reply to the person direct you can save the original article -
   the 's' option and when editting your reply append the saved article.

It would have been a whole lot nicer to point the befuddled newuser
to `Welcome to news.newusers.questions!', which says that if you want
a real answer

P L E A S E tell us what newsreader software and version you're using,
as well as the operating system and version.  The Welcome also
suggests R-ing TFM (Reading the Funny Manual) and asking your newsadmin
before posting to the net, because they should reflect knowledge of
your environment.

There are hundreds of newsreader/OS/HW environments in the USENET
world, and those who would answer your questions are not mindreaders.

Crossposting is what it's called.  How it's done on your system is
anyone's guess, because systems and configurations vary.  If the
following suggestions don't work, ask your newsadmin, whom you should
have asked before posting.  Or RTFM (Read the Funny Manual).  If
none of the above works, post again, giving us enough info to help you,
as described in `Welcome to news.newusers.questions!', which you have
read, haven't you?  Include the name and version of operating system
and name and version of your newsreader.

Try # 1:  Your newsreader prompts you for Newsgroups:.  List all the
	groups you feel are appropriate for your message.

Try # 2:  Your newsgroup allows you to edit your message, including
	some of the headers.  Edit the Newsgroups: header line to
	include all the groups you are posting to.

Note: Newsgroups in the Newsgroups header line are separated by
commas only, no spaces.  The only legal space is immediately after
`Newsgroups:'.

Good luck.

Here is what to do if you want to "ftp" a file FOO.Z, kept
in the directory /pub/foostuff, on a machine JUNK.TRASH.EDU :

1. Run the command "ftp JUNK.TRASH.EDU"
2. Give the login name: "anonymous"
3. Give the password: "gc14@"		[others may adjust this]

4. Type "bin" to be placed in binary mode.
   (Just in case the file you want is binary. Those ending in .Z
    are binaries for example. For text files this is unnecessary 
    but will do no harm.)

5. Go to the desired directory: "cd /pub/foostuff"

   [If you don't know where they keep FOO.Z you will have to look
   around. Use "cd" to change directory on the remote machine,
   and "dir" to see what's there in any directory.

   To simply *read* a *short* file, say README, without actually
   getting it: "get README |more"

   Usually there is no need to change directory on the *local* 
   machine in the middle of FTP, but if you must, use "lcd".]

6. Finally: "get FOO.Z"

   This will transfer the file to your machine where it will
   be called FOO.Z as well. (If for some reason, you want it to
   to called something else on your local machine, say, NEWNAME,
   run: "get FOO.Z NEWNAME" instead.)

7. When all done, type "bye"


Good luck.
