- Newswatcher has two big advantages over Nuntius (IMO).
-
- 1) Newswatcher can automatically download and upload .newsrc files from a
- UNIX host. This is crucial if you read the news on both platforms (i.e. at
- work/ at home over a modem).
-
- 2) Size - Nuntius builds a lot of preference files in the System folder
- which end up taking a lot of room.
