Cnews is available for Coherent - albeit an older version that works
okay.  I've successfully compiled and tested cnews, but have not
yet gotten a feed.  An older version of rn is also available.
mwcbbs has Cnews - a 700+K tar file.  Since the original poster
was from Germany, it should be available on piggy, but I can't
access piggy (even though I live 1/2 mile from it!) just yet.
About Cnews and rn - just be prepared for LOTS of hard disk activity!
