Aucbvax.2450 NET.news utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!cbosg!mark Sun Jul 26 23:42:03 1981 netnews interface Re: your comment in BLFP about the interface in netnews: I couldn't tell from your comment what you don't like about the interface - do I gather you thought that save, reply, and so on are not available? (Try "?" and see what the options are.) There is a new netnews about to come out - the major feature is much less load on the system, but there are changes to the interface, too. The articles will now come out grouped by newsgroup. There are provisions for reading articles out of order, much like those in Mail. (In fact, there is now a provision to use Mail as the interface while keeping track of what you read correctly - the old version will assume you read everything.) The new netnews is within a few days of beta release. Do I gather that there are more ih sites running netnews now besides ihnss? What sites are they, so I can update the usenet map, and how did you get them installed in ihux machines?
