and select the NGService->Read option from the services menu.
NGService will launch, and bring up a window that will show you the

Used for
-------------------------
NGService actually arose from the number of complaints on the Net
about NewsGrazer posts, and those who don't want to use NewsGrazer,
or want to be able to view NewsGrazer postings at home, where they
don't have enough CNews set up to run NewsGrazer.
It also served the purpose of introducing me to NeXT services, and
cells in Text Objects.
Also since there is no NewsGrazer for NEXTSTEP Intel, and there
will not be one made available from NeXT, this will make it possible
for the Intel users to access the NewsGrazer files easily.
Which NeXT release your software was developed under
----------------------------------------------------
NGService was implemented under 2.x, and the only change that was
needed to get it running under 3.0 was to have Project Builder
convert the IB.proj file to the new PB.project format, and then
change one line in the Makefile.preamble...
However when I upgraded to 3.1, and then went to quickly recompile
a fat version, there were a few things that had to be changed. I
also spent an hour and cleaned up some things.
