Hello,

in comp.os.minix is now WNEWS 3.0, a news package for the PC-MINIX.
It compiles under Coherent, there are some small but solvable problems
(missing mktime, how to uncompress 16-bit-compressed newsbatches).
TASS (posted in comp.os.minix and original in alt.sources) is a news
reader that also compiles under Coherent.
I heard a rumour that cnews for Coherent is on piggy but am absolutely
sure that WNEWS and TASS are in the news.

I now had no time to test WNEWS but will try it as fast as possible.

Just some ideas

Joachim
