I have it on my books as one of my next major projects.  Thankfully,
I'll be able to reuse some of the code from my e-mail client too so it
won't take as long to finish the news reader as it will to finish the
e-mail client.  :-)

By the way, the main reason I'll be writing a news reader for the IIgs
at all is because I want it.  I'll be able to use my IIgs to
participate here and seeing as Apple II newsgroups are all I subscribe
too, it just makes sense to me.  :-)

By the way, a news reader certainly isn't the last piece of TCP/IP
software that is needed and it certainly isn't the last I plan to
write.  However, it is the last of the big four internet applications
(e-mail, news, ftp and web).
