- Henry & Geoff made C-news work on some version of IRIX. You just have
- to answer the questions of the configuration script. I don't think any
- of the many news machines inside the SGI network are still running
- B-news. NTP is a little more hassle, but not much. There are many
- news readers.

- If you don't want to touch source, then your best bet is to hire it
- done. Or get a remote account on a machine that is already running
- news.
