- Both of these problems, and many others, were fixed some time ago in
- NewsWatcher 1.3d6. The program and source code and tons of documentation
- are available via anonymous FTP to ftp.acns.nwu.edu [129.105.113.52], in
- the pub/newswatcher directory. The source code is compatible with both
- Think C and MPW C. Think project files and an MPW makefile are both
- included.
