- Description:
-
- ReadNews is a newsreader designed to complement RUCP 0.11 by Andreas
- Raab. The RUCP software will receive news batches and unpack them but
- will do nothing further with them. This reader fills the gap by allowing
- you to read the news articles and even permit posting of articles to the net.
-
- The file scripts.txt contains extra scripts for use with ReadNews.
-
- bugfix.arc contains modified versions of the standard system scripts for
- ReadNews V0.30. They fix `the' news posting bug and, additionally, provide
- a `brag' line for ReadNews in the message headers.
