Lots of nice features, like presenting a menu of articles when you enter a new newsgroup, allowing you to pick the one you need. Or, if you're really in a hurry and don't care for a lot of many features, get nn (No News is good news :-) -- also menu based, with a cache that makes reading news really fast. GNUS is available from prep.ai.mit.edu. nn is at freja.diku.dk and several other places. Both have ample instructions for installation and are quite straightforward to install (well, kind of. NN requires you to set up a daemon, but its easy enough to do). /Lars -- Lars Fischer, fischer@iesd.auc.dk | Q: How does a project get to be one CS Dept., Univ. of Aalborg, DENMARK. | year late?
