1.  Buy MacTCP from Apple.  (Individual or site--no problem.  Is it big $$?)

2.  Get Harry Chesley's NetNews Reader Stack for HyperCard.
	(OK.  Free?  Great.  How can it bo obtained?  We don't
	 have ftp right now.  Any way to order it or receive it?)

3.  NNTP Server.  (What is this?  This resides on the news host?
	 This handles the host file access?  And where does this
	 piece come from?  Apple?  Host specific stuff?  Cost?)

-------------------------------------------------------
All this adds up to a Mac reading news from a host over TCP/IP

(Am I close?  On the right track?
 This sounds ideal!  I want 5.   Can someone fill in the questions?
 And two for a PC.  Anyone want to mail me info on that? )
