Hi all,
I've been wanting to access this group through a newsgroup reader of some sort, but (1) I don't know what to download for Mac 0S 10.4, and I don't know how to use them. I'd be happy to receive some advice on this matter. Regards, Nico |

MT-NewsWatcher (Free Software) http://www.smfr.org/mtnw/ Hogwasher (Commercial Software) http://www.asar.com/cgi-bin/product.pl?3/index.html Our members have had a lot of success with them, so you shouldn't go wrong with either reader. Hope the info is helpful. Best regards, NewsGuy.Com |

These all date back to the OS 5 era, but have been updated a lot over the years, and MT-Newswatcher at least is cleanly ported to OS X. Mozilla also has a newsreader integrated with it, which I think is kind of clumsy and doesn't have good killfiling, but which some people like. And of course, since OS X has a real command line, you can use all the good old-fashioned newsreaders from the eighties, like rn, tin, and trn. A lot of people (including myself) prefer the command line news interface because of the speed and convenience, but it's clearly a matter of taste. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

The following site for example, seems to do a decent job of covering the basic setup details (subscribing to a group, posting, etc.)... http://www.cit.cornell.edu/services/...s/newswatcher/ If you run into any specific problems, feel free to drop me a note.
