I have had no success getting to shambhala.berkeley.edu (it pings, but
ftp, finger, telnet all timeout). If it ever comes back, I'm sure
there's going to be interest in this!

XRN is an X-based NNTP news reader. There is an X10 version
and an X11R3 version (beta - not all of the X10 XRN features are
in it yet). They can be found on shambhala.berkeley.edu
(128.32.132.54 - it supports anonymous ftp) in ~ftp/pub/xrn.tar.Z
(X10 version) and ~ftp/pub/xrn-x11-beta.tar.Z (X11 version).
Note that the X11 version is still being worked on and is not complete,
please read the files X11 and README before reporting bugs or
misfeatures (such as save unders are turned on for the compose
window - this just came to me as I'm creating this message -
the compose window took an awful long time to come up).
Also, the X11 version requires bug fixes to the athena widgets.
We have reported them, but got no response. If you want to try out
the X11 version, grab the source, then mail me a message and we'll
send you the bug fixes (and we'll be able to let you know when
new versions are available). The X11 version has only been
adequately tested on Ultrix 2.2.
