NewsReader


Praise for Russ Spooner's efforts is in danger of taking over this site! Not only has he produced HTMLEdit98 and Psuucode, but now comes news of something that many folk have been waiting for - a Usenet News reader. It isn't available yet, as it is still in alpha testing (which is a euphemism for "it falls over a bit at the moment"!), so don't pester Russ or Richard Panton for copies. It'll be on the Palmscape Web site when it's ready.


The "About" Screen

The way it works is to let you view headers on-line, mark which messages you want to read, and then download them. You can read and reply off-line, then re-connect and send your replies.


Reading a Posting

As it is only an alpha at the moment, I won't say too much about it, except that it works. When Russ and Richard have tweaked it further, I suspect it will be another very popular companion for the Message Suite. In the meantime, here's some screen shots for you to enjoy. These have all come from the Geofox One, hence the larger size than you'll see on the S5.
