Subject: nn-tkb11 release (nn newsreader with X interface)
Organization: The University of Western Australia
Keywords: news, nn, tck/tk, X11
Approved: linux-announce@news.ornl.gov (Lars Wirzenius)
Followup-to: comp.os.linux.x

This is a version of the nn newreader with an 
integrated X interface produced using TCL/TK. 
NN is a heavy duty newsreader and theTK interace 
adds extra features inluding two different
group selection menus, MIME handling and an internal
editor.

It is available in
	susite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/Mail/news

The binary is 
	nn-tk.b11.1.bin.tgz
and is compiled with TK4 linked statically
and the X11R6 libraries linked dynamically.
It can be used with either local news files or
via NNTP.

The source is
	nn-tk.b11.1.src.tar.gz
and can be compiled into either nn or nn-tk. The nn
version has a few advantages over the usual nn a command
for reloading the newsgroup info while running and a
option for not reading the active file on startup
(usefull for slow NNTP connections).
