I left a message earlier about uucp for the pc that will unbatch news.  
Thanks to some of the responses that I have received, I have found a 
package that works reasonably well and can be used in a variety of 
situations.  That package is called UFGATE from Late Night Software.  I 
have installed the package and it seems to do everything that I need it 
to do so far.  It is designed to work with a Fido BBS (or look-alike) 
which means that the messages and news are converted to a standard 
MS-DOS text file that can be used by other programs.  The documentation 
was for the most part complete except for certain key areas which I 
found it lacking considerably (ie. I had to download the source for one 
of the programs used in the system to find out how to set it up).  
However this is a VERY complicated task and this set of programs does 
pull it off nicely. The software is available from UFGATE support bbs's
at (606) 271-0687, (407) 994-6753, and (415) 391-2637.
 
I have no affilation with LATE NIGHT SOFTWARE.
