Hi:

I believe the following options exist (there are undoubtedly others too!)

TCP/Connect from Intercon
TheNews a Shareware program
A Hypercard stack based news reader
X-Windows server software on mac, and execute XRN remotely on some big machine.

I have a BIG active file, and some of the programs have difficulty with that.
XRN definately DOES NOT.  It works great, is extremely USER FRIENDLY and flashy.
(note, I have only executed XRN on Suns so far.  I presume it will output
correctly to the Mac X-server, but I have not tried it personally.
Has anyone else actually send XRN output to the Mac X-server display ??)

Hope that helps,
Bob
