Re: Anybody interfaced Rand mail/news system to normal news command?
Note that B netnews was specifically designed to be compatible with
Rand's MH system.  You can use the Rand "news" program with it unchanged,
if you really want such a simple interface.

I would be especially interested to hear from people who want to use
this compatibility feature.  Some improvements have been suggested
(such as changing .'s to /'s in subdir names so that we can have more
than 13 characters of significance in newsgroup names) that would break
this compatibility.  Or perhaps MH can be changed with it?
