Sad, isn't it? That's not because Usenet is FOC. It's because MS's news reader doesn't require that readers first visit news.announce.newusers before they can participate as was the case of pre-Windows, Unix based news clients. You can't blame MS for that. I was never forced to visit news.announce.newusers when I first accessed USNET via a telnet connection back in the 80's and a Mac didn't require it when I first accessed one in the early 90's. What news client software did you use via telnet? Usenet was created under the Unix operating system. Have you ever used rn or trn?* They forced a visit to news.announce.newusers when initially run. IIRC xrn (what I started out with) also forced you to go to it... |

Was that also a Larry Wall creation? xrn is an X11 front end to rn (using the Athena widget set). I can't remember offhand whether it compiled in rn's nntp code or if it acted as a front end to the rn and sent the results to its widgets. -- Doug Semler, MCPD a.a. #705, BAAWA.

The non-instrument rated pilot received serious injuries as a result of his telling ATC he was able to fly the Rnwy 25 ILS approach. Why he chose to do that, rather than divert to another destination, is anybody's guess at this point. Hey! I got a parachute on this thing, if anything goes wrong we just pull the red handel. |
