-
- GRn is Gadtools Read News, a Gadtools-based newsreader for the Amiga, running
- Release 2.0 or above. Some special features are available on higher releases.
-
- GRn supports locally stored news (via AmigaUUCP, C News, or NNTPxfer) and
- NNTP in a variety of ways (AS225r2, AmiTCP 2.2 or above, DNet, AUW and direct
- connection via serial.device or serial clone).
-
- GRn 2.1a only has a single difference over GRn 2.1 -- it supports AmiTCP 4.0+.
- Thanks go to Jarno Tapio Rajahalme <jraja@vipunen.hut.fi>, for providing the
- requisite fix.
-
- GRn 3.0 will be available commercially early in 1995.
-
- GRn 2.1 is an update to GRn 2.0. Several new features have been added, and
- several bugs have been fixed. Refer to GRn.guide for detailed information on
- operating GRn. The file INSTALL tells you how to install GRn (sorry, Installer
- script didn't happen).
