The binhex file attached below is the Think C source for a sample NetNews
reader which I offer to the archive. The first paragraph of the Readme
file follows.

NetNews Starter Code Package (NNSCP) October 1990
===================================================
If you have picked up this code in hopes of finding a nifty new news reader
you will be disappointed and should probably stick with one of the HyperCard
based readers. If, on the other hand, you've thought about tinkering with a
news reader you may find this a useful starting point. The code requires
Think C 4.0 or later and MacTCP. While this code does produce a perfectly
acceptable new reader (I use it as my sole news reader), it is best viewed as
sample code. The user interface is cumbersome in parts and the code is not
robust enough to be considered a finished product. I call this code a starter
package because it implements a "news reader in the raw", base functionality,
ready to be customized with features of your design.
