[Moderators - I had submitted this to macgifts, but it didn't show up at
sumex. I'm getting a lot of bug reports for things that were fixed in this
version. It'd be great if you could replace it]

-----------------------------------
[Moderators: MacNews 1.1 should replace MacNews1.0 in the archives]
MacNews 1.1 is a bug fix of version 1.0. the bug fixes include:
--Fixed bug which caused crashes on 68000 machines whenever
typing into a dialog box
--Added support for hadware handshake for high-speed modems.
--Fixed a bug which would occasionally cause a crash when
removing a site
--Fixed a bug which would, when a newsserver would disconnect,
leave the menu bars dim
--Some minor cosmetic enhancements (Click anywhere on a
window to bring it to front, cursor doesn't get
stuck in "stopwatch" mode, auto-centering of alerts in
system 7)
Just in case you don't know, here is the announcement of MacNews:
-----
I have just completed version [1.1] of MacNews, a shareware NNTP
newsreader for non-TCP Mac's. If you use rn or GNUS from a dial-in
host, you may want to consider MacNews instead. Features:
Reads, Posts, and Follows-up, of course.
Subscribe/Unsubscribe/Maintain newsgroups
Save or append articles to a file on your drive
Insert files, cut, copy, paste, when composing articles
Maintains a list of several sites, each with it's own list of
subscribed newsgroups - helpful if you read news from
more than one site.
Much faster, at 2400 baud, than EMACS Gnus.
Works on any modem equipped Mac.
On-line help.
Besides all this, it's a growing product, and I am open to suggestions
for the next version. So try it out and see if it suits your needs.
