Description:

ReadNews is a newsreader designed to complement RUCP 0.11 by Andreas
Raab. The RUCP software will receive news batches and unpack them but
will do nothing further with them. This reader fills the gap by allowing
you to read the news articles and even permit posting of articles to the net.

The file scripts.txt contains extra scripts for use with ReadNews.

bugfix.arc contains modified versions of the standard system scripts for
ReadNews V0.30.  They fix `the' news posting bug and, additionally, provide
a `brag' line for ReadNews in the message headers.
