Sits on ftp.uu.net, I forgot the directory. The newsreader itself is really small, but maybe one could build something out of the transport agents which sit on the serving machine and collect the news (locally on the server or via NNTP). One could also experiment with the `-S' option of tin, which supposedly saves unread news into a local directory structure. The man page says that the supplementing option `-R' (read news saved by `-S') is not yet implemented (tin-1.22), though. tg
