- 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.

-
- 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.
