Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: tin 1.7.0 for OS/2


From: Mike Forester <foresterDESPAM at panix.com> 

For anyone who's interested, I've uploaded a port of tin, Iain Lea's 
menu-driven text-mode newsreader from Unix, to Hobbes.  I'm really not a 
programmer, but the source is good enough that it was pretty easy to 
port.  I'm not sure how well it works in all languages -- it has GNU 
gettext compiled in, but I couldn't get it to work with any existing  OS/2
ports of libiconv.

Nevertheless, it was the first newsreader I ever used and it's still fast
and easy.  And best of all, no reaching for the damn mouse.  ;-)

This version supports ANSI color, automatic downloading, batch 
downloading, binary decoding (BASE64, UUENCODE and yEnc by way of the 
UUDEVIEW headers), multiple sorting and threading options, easy kill 
filtin-1.7.0-os2.zipters (subj: *\[FUD4\]*), &c. &c. &c.

Only tested on MCP2, which is all I have installed, but presumably it will
work with most recent OS/2 versions.

Uploaded to: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming/tin-1.7.0-os2.zip

and headed for: 
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu//pub/os2/apps/internet/news/reader/tin-1.7.0-os2.zip

Source included.
