Does anyone know of a News type program that will run on a Novell network. I
want to be able to provide a system where staff can contribute to discussion on
various matters, each of which is located in its own discussion group, just like
Internet news. Naturally, I want a better interface than most News programs
provide. It seems to me that in the academic environment, we waste a lot of time
in meetings, when the matters could have been discussed in an electronic forum
(or forums) at time which suited each of us.

I will summarise to this group if others are interested. So far I have a program
called NOTICE, but it is somewhat restricted. (It would probably let us get
started). Someone else mentioned that WordPerfect Office might provide this
capability. Any experiences?
