NewsWatcher is a free Macintosh Usenet news reader.
NewsWatcher requires a Mac running System 7.0 or later with 2.5
megabytes or more of memory and a hard drive. The Mac must be connected
to the Internet, and MacTCP or Open Transport mut be properly installed
and configured. For dialup use, NewsWatcher works together with the
various SLIP and PPP programs, and with AppleTalk Remote Access
together with an appropriately configured AppleTalk/IP gateway.
newswatcher-20.sea.hqx: The program.
release-notes-20.txt: Release notes for 2.0.
user-doc.postcard.sea.hqx: The user doc in postcard format.
user-doc.msword.sea.hqx: The user doc in MS Word format.
source-20.sea.hqx: The CodeWarrior source code.
You only need to get one of the user doc files. They are the
same document in two different formats. The "postcard" version
contains its own viewing and printing software, so you don't
need a copy of the word processor I used to create the doc.
The "msword" version is in Microsoft Word format.
The "helpers" subdirectory contains copies of other programs
which NewsWatcher uses to help it decode binary files and
open URLs.
The "old-release-notes" subdirectory contains old release
notes for previous beta releases of NewsWatcher 2.0.
The file "inn-xpat-patch.txt" contains a patch your server
administrator can apply to INN 1.4 to fix a problem with the
XPAT command. See the user doc for details.
The file "posting-delays-note.txt" contains a note about
why posting takes so long with some kinds of old and
misconfigured news servers.
The file "url-ae-standard.txt" is a document which describes
the standard URL Apple event suite.
The file "rfc-1738-urls.txt" is a copy of the Internet RFC
standards document for URLs.
