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.
