How can I run the program on my local machine without setting up other processes to download the news groups onto a spool on my disk? For example, in the NeXT News application written by William Shipley, he writes in his README file: -------------------------------------- To run, type News -NewsHost <nntp_machine_name> where <nntp_machine_name> is the internet name or number of a machine which runs NNTP. --------------------------------------- There is a machine at my university that runs NNTP. How can I get rn to use that machine in the way the Shipley's app uses it? steve@fisher.bio.uci.edu

(In the best of all possible worlds, the next release of News will support both, invisibly.) Set the shell variable NNTPHOST in your .cshrc to be the machine that has NNTP, and you'll be set for either News or rrn. -w
