Note that the current version of TheNews is 2.02.  It has improved quite a bit  
over version 1.4, and runs fine on system 7 (well, version 1.4 did too, if I  
remember right).  Bill Cramer sent this off to sumex a few weeks ago, but I'm  
not sure if it has showed up there yet.  He sent it out to anyone who  
registered for version 1.4 (or at least he sent it to me because I was  
registered, when it didn't seem to be appearing on sumex).
