There is a program available at sumex for news called TheNews. Last
version I saw was up to 1.4. There is also a HyperCard stack which
I found unacceptably slow.

There are commercial versions of all of these things available, and
I assume many of them are much better products, though I have only
seen Intercon's looking over someone's shoulder. But you can't beat
the price on NCSA Telnet and HyperFTP. TheNews is shareware.

Good luck,
