Hello,
     I've just put together cnews, nntp, and nn in an effort to start a
news service on a Sun. Everything seems to work quite well as an nntp
client. My problem is with postnews. Actually, postnews from cnews
works fine, except that the user interface leaves a bit to be desired. I am
using a postnews on another machine that gets the active groups, prompts
you through the posting process, and is in general a much nicer system.
     Unfortunately, the only other postnews source that I have found is in
vnews. Vnews appears to be designed for bnews 2.10, 2.10.1, or 2.10.2. Since
I used cnews, building postnews and vnews seems to be a bit of a problem.

Anyone have some pointers on how to do this (build a reasonable postnews),
or a source for a more recent postnews?

Thanks for the information - /mde/
