Short:        Integrated news/mail reader system
Type:         comm/news
Architecture: m68k-amigaos

PMRead (Poor-Man's Reader) is part of a complete system for reading and
posting Internet news and mail without SLIP or UUCP. It was designed,
basically, because I don't have SLIP and I can't get a UUCP feed. I have
news access but because our campus inbound modem pool is still an archaic
2400 baud, reading news is just too slow! PMRead is FAST FAST FAST!

REQUIREMENTS:

AmigaDOS 2.04 or greater
2 megabytes of RAM
Lots of HD space

(and for use with the UNIX Internet package)
Term 2.3 or greater and modem
A UNIX account with Internet news access

PMRead uses an AREXX script called GetNews, which interfaces with Term 2.3
by Olan Barthel, to interact automatically with your UNIX account at a
prescribed time to download news and mail and parse it into a form useable
by the reader. The practical upshot of all this is that in the middle of
the night all this stuff happens and in the morning you can read your news
and mail, right on your Amiga. Neat, huh?

This is the Shareware 0.99 release, with only news-reading capability. $20
American will get you the full version, with future UUCP support.
