It looks like the latest trn (threaded rn) will suport the display of 
eighth bit set characters.  With it and cnews*, one can already run a 
local or controlled distribution group with a 8 bit character set (eg,
iso8859/1).  

* - If the utilities inews uses aren't 8 bit clean, you may be out
of luck until Henry does a new version.


I wonder if anyone out there reads this like I do  - "risumi".
