It's a newsreader useable on your freenet if your freenet has a QWK packet
builder -- most likely uqwk. It was originally designed for the QWK
capable BBS's on Fidonet, but uqwk is an equivalent news mailer for unix
systems. I can send you or your site the latest uqwk. For a prepatched
2qwk! (ProDOS, BASIC.SYSTEM and the unzip program ANGEL have to be patched
to use ms-dos lgeal file names -- numbers as the first character) call
804-496-3320 and download IIQWK35B.SHK. It's a version ready to run from a
3.5" disk.
