- Hermes will do all that you want. Try looking for HERM104B.TAF on
- (preferable German) ftp-Sites!
- You are able to used the GEM based Newsreader GUS or the old 'rn' from
- the Mercury package. But there is the 'nn', too! After installing Hermes
- you should try to install *the* Net Newsreader (current Version 6.4.11
- 1.3 ST?!)
