- I don't think that is what he is looking for. I asked the same question about
- 6 months back and ended up with very little that I could use. He is probably
- (correct me if I am wrong) looking for a reader that runs from the Amiga and
- gets its feed from a news server. For example, NeXT has the NewsGrazer, Mac
- has TheNews. The amiga has readers like Grn, Arn, etc. but they all seem to
- work only with UUCP. Isn't there anything that will read the news directly
- from a news server?
