- I am interested in installing a news system on my Coherent (4.0.1)
- system, but I know very little about it. What I am looking for here
- is a list of the "available" software to do this. Something along
- the lines of:
- News readers -
- readnews= old reliable standy, available from ???
- rn = more user friendly, available from ???
- ???= etc.
-
- News agents -
- bnews
- cnews
- ???
-
- or whatever. I have seen posts mentioning things like "TIN" and "ELM"
- but I have no idea what category they fit into etc. I guess a "catalog"
- of news software is what I am after and some idea of where to start.
- Comments/reviews would be OK but not required. The two main points are
- to 1. find out what is available on Coherent and 2. find out which
- programs work together (i.e. cnews <-> rn).
- Thanks,
- Tom A.
