GRn is FreeWare. But, if you have a desire to donate, please feel free. :)
We've gone to a great deal of trouble to try to make sure that GRn is as usable
and bug-free as possible, but we can't guarantee it. Use GRn at your own risk.
================================================================================
This is version 1.16f of GRn.
The file CHANGES documents the changes since the last release (1.16e) of GRn.
The file INSTALL documents how to install GRn.
The file PROBLEMS describes some common problems experienced using GRn.
The file GRn.man gives an in-depth description on the arguments GRn accepts.
The file GRn.doc gives an in-depth description on the operation of GRn.
The file TODO describes future planned enhancements/corrections to GRn.
Major changes since 1.16e:
GRn now builds itself a path when started from the Workbench. GRn no longer
must be in the same directory as all the UUCP binaries.
Online Subscriptions. You may now subscribe online. GRn no longer scans the
entire news spool on startup.
Shell arguments. GRn now accepts all tooltypes as arguments, and many
can be set by use of environment variables.
NNTP. GRn can now read news via serial based NNTP and Ethernet based NNTP.
DNet support. GRn can now read news via DNet to an NNTP port (this was
much harder than it sounds).
All sorts (Sort by Subject, etc.) now work properly and do not "drop"
articles.
PUBSCREEN is implemented so you may open GRn on the specified public
screen.
More environment variables recognized. If all UUCP/NNTP-related variables
are defined in the environment, GRn will not try to open a CONFIG file.
More stable. GRn now handles many more errors properly.
Improved C-News support.
