I agree with your comments (especially since I was one of the persons that
bought Proline! :-) ), but I have wondered something for a LONG LONG TIME!

Why is there no implementation of the real news protocol on the Apple?
I have seen a number of implementations on the IBM (homebrews) but there
just seems to be no one that wants to do it for the Apple.  Basically, we
have a machine in the //gs that averages one meg, has a lot of users with
20+ megs of storage, and a real nice command set (on the 65c816).

Would anyone out there know how to get ahold of the actual UUCP transfer
protocols or netnews protocols?  C source, or anything that can be basically
read would be appreciated.  Thanks!
