[Moderators - I had submitted this to macgifts, but it didn't show up at
sumex.  I'm getting a lot of bug reports for things that were fixed in this
version. It'd be great if you could replace it]

MacNews 1.1 )1993 by Matthew A. Hall
-----------------------------------
 
[Moderators: MacNews 1.1 should replace MacNews1.0 in the archives]
 
MacNews 1.1 is a bug fix of version 1.0.  the bug fixes include:
	--Fixed bug which caused crashes on 68000 machines whenever
		typing into a dialog box
	--Added support for hadware handshake for high-speed modems.
	--Fixed a bug which would occasionally cause a crash when
		removing a site
	--Fixed a bug which would, when a newsserver would disconnect,
		leave the menu bars dim
	--Some minor cosmetic enhancements (Click anywhere on a 
		window to bring it to front, cursor doesn't get 
		stuck in "stopwatch" mode, auto-centering of alerts in
		system 7)
 
Just in case you don't know, here is the announcement of MacNews:

----- 

I have just completed version [1.1] of MacNews, a shareware NNTP
newsreader for non-TCP Mac's.  If you use rn or GNUS from a dial-in
host, you may want to consider MacNews instead.  Features:
	Reads, Posts, and Follows-up, of course.
	Subscribe/Unsubscribe/Maintain newsgroups
	Save or append articles to a file on your drive
	Insert files, cut, copy, paste, when composing articles
	Maintains a list of several sites, each with it's own list of
	  subscribed newsgroups - helpful if you read news from
	  more than one site.
	Much faster, at 2400 baud, than EMACS Gnus.
	Works on any modem equipped Mac.
	On-line help.

Besides all this, it's a growing product, and I am open to suggestions
for the next version.  So try it out and see if it suits your needs.
