\
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.
\fc1\cf1 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 and allows posting of articles with multiple fonts, images, documents, etc. It's available at the NeXT-specific archive sites (see
\fc1\cf1 ../NEXTSTEP/Miscellaneous/
\fc0\cf0 NeXT_specific_archive _servers_and_ftp_info.rtf for more information). NewsGrazer can make reading news much easier [though, if you're a frequent reader of UseNet and the comp.sys.next.* newsgroups, you are very much aware that this is subject to debate :-)!—ed.] However, it does
\b not
\b0 set up a “news feed,” the mechanism needed to send or receive news to or from other sites. You'll need to have a news feed set up, as described above.\
