- It's perhaps worth noting that the newsreader in use at the Software
- Technology Program of MCC in 1987-1990, written by Michael Begeman,
- called `gnews', did this. `gnews' was released into the public domain
- several years ago, but I don't know where to get it from MCC these days.
- Looks like the code can be used in other things, as long as the credit
- is preserved. I've put a copy for ftp as
- ftp://parcftp.parc.xerox.com/transient/gnews.tar.Z. It'll be there for
- a couple of weeks.
