Newssoftware-/readers are available through the network, via FTP from
piggy.csb.edu or from the MWCBBS, a customer support Mailbox from MWC.
As far as I know are now available:

cnews .... (the wellknown newsprogram)
rn         (newsreader)
WNEWS3.0   (a MINIX newsprogram bnews-alike but smaller, modified for COherent)
G-NEWS 1.01 (a small but good news program with newsreader for Coherent)
TASS 3.2   (a newsreader with a nice curses interface)
