There are a few advantages of Each.  The Cnews port (Which is what I THINK is
supplied with 1.08D) has Compressed news, but has a problem with Cross-posted
messages. (Multiple copies going into Rejects).  With Greg's News, you don't 
yet have Compressed news.

  Now which problem is handled first is yet to be seen.  I myself am likely to
continue with Greg's news processor as I more fully understand the source
and can then be of more help to Greg.  As well, Greg is working on a 
Shared library for message bases with the Welmat/Fidonet developers group, so
his news software will have some interesting features.
