I sure someone has designed a method to extract notes and post 'em in NEWS.
I assume you are talking only one way (DECUSERVE => NEWS) at this time?

The future of E-conferencing has to be interfacing the various systems.  On the
other hand, DECUSERVE may view this as a loss of revenue since ~80% read-only.

Since all notes on DECUSERVE are public domain, I can't see any reason why this
could not be done.
