He's written one that uses XEDIT as the display manager. You need the IBM Pascal compiler for it. You need to do some minor customization, as well. The code is functional and stable, but there are several people hacking on it to make improvements. Paul sends out periodic updates. The code is freely distributable. >Tangent: How about Mac based readers? See 'USENET software: history and sources' in news.announce.newusers. All of your questions are answered there.
