Hi. I got quite a bit of mail on NNTP. The consensus seemed to be that
it doesn't work (as originally written) on the Tower and there was even
one person who suggested that WIN-TCP was to blame...

On the bright side, one person said that NNTP 1.6 was supposed to work on the
Tower (out Real Soon Now). At any rate, I'm going to rewrite the socket
code (it's a very small part of the program actually) to be a little less
BSD-ish (read "less elegant...") and see if I can get it to work. It can't
be that difficult (hah!).

I have something to say! It's better to burn out than to fade away!
My statements are my own (not Merrill Lynch's). Any resemblance to a reality
that you know is purely coincidental.
