Q: Where can I find the news reading software (Usenet NetNews)?\
\
A: The sources for B News 11 (also known as B News 2.11) are available from UUNet — uunet.uu.net — by anonymous FTP. Likewise, the sources for C News, for rn, for Notes, and for various other news reading and posting software. Look in the
\b news
\b0 directory (e.g., the pieces of B News are files in the directory
\b news/bnews-2.11
\b0 .)\
\
The sources and the programs are unsupported, and they may need to be tailored to run on NeXT computers.
\fc0 Configuring a NetNews feed is a complex process that should only be attempted by an experienced UNIX system administrator.
\b Please note that NeXT Technical Support does not provide any support for NetNews configuration.\

Q: Are any NeXTstep news reading applications available?\
\
A: An application called NewsGrazer is a NeXTstep front end to news reading. It provides an interface similar to NeXT Mail, even allowing posting of articles with multiple fonts, images, documents, etc. It's available at the NeXT-specific archive sites (see NextAnswer misc.227 for more information). NewsGrazer makes reading news much easier. However, it does
