I was going to post it to net.sources, then "rn" came out, and I decided not to. After some deliberation, and in light of this discussion on digests, I decided what the heck. Among the features I have is digest unpacking, handled in a way reasonably consistent with the rest of my interface. That interface is different than the other readers, aimed at rapid perusal of a lot of news, most of which you don't want to look at. I offer it not as a replacement for anything, but as an alternative reader I like to use, and you might like to give a try. Posted as "vn" in net.sources. Bob McQueer {amdahl|sun|mtxinu}!rtech
