Re:  Netnews reader (rn) from mac...                             
Boy, that was fast!  Here are the three answers.  Thanks to those
who responded!

1.  Intercon Systems Corp., (703) 450-7117.  Highly praised by three.
Newsreader is (unfortunately!) bundled only with full TCP/ConnectII
package for $495, which includes pop mail, telnet, tek emulation
file transfer, etc. (unfortunate because in my case we have that all
already:  gatorbox, gatormail-Q and quickmail, which we love).

2.  APDA (800) 282-2732.  Part of Hypercard MacTCP Toolkit V1.0.  ALthough
it's bundled, bundle price is $20 (can't beat that).  But you can't buy
it unless you're a member of APDA, which means you have to commit to sell
your product on a mac.  :(  (APDA will sell full products, "class 1", to
anyone, but this is "class 2", which is something like beta.)
 
3.  MEWS, on info-mac:  COMM/MEWS-132-PART1.HQX and part2, too.  
(Free?  shareware?  don't know...i've just requested it from listserv...
will see.)
