This is a beta release of NewsCoaster, an offline newsreader (requires MUI). This
version is limited to viewing a maximum of two newsgroups. Also note that in newer
versions, the '.prefs' file format may change, so a reinstallation is recommended (the
program will tell you if this is the case).
If you are interested in hearing about the final release (or newer beta releases), or
if you have any bug reports or suggestions, please email me at mdwh2@cam.ac.uk
Web page at http://members.tripod.com/~Mark_Harman/newscoaster.html (contains details
of features not yet implemented!)
Note that there is currently no documentation (despite what the program says!) - you
can make use of the 'Bubble Help' by leaving the mouse over a gadget, and after a few
seconds a bubble will appear telling you what it does. Also, if the folder
configuration messes up, try selecting 'Update Index' from the Newsgroups menu.
