Where is Jim Rozen?

Good guess. A recent posting there is from October 27.

I also wondered if anything had happened to Jim, and called him a couple of weeks ago. He and his family are fine. He had been using Newsguy to access the usegroup. Newsguy changed and now requires Java. And Jim just does not use Java.

Good to hear that he and his are ok. Sorry to hear that we have lost him, I guess I'll have to hang out a bit more on practicalmachinist.

Thanks, Dan.

Dan, Give Jim a call and tell him to check Motzarella.org - Free NG access with posting. Relatively fast too.

According to snipped-for-privacy@krl.org :

Newsguy does *not* require Java. Maybe their own newsreader does (or a web-based newsreader), but you can connect from other newsreaders. I'm using trn on a unix box to read news from Newsguy -- with no problems. Anything which will use the nntp protocol will work fine.

You might want to pass this along to Jim.

Enjoy, DoN.

And the user doesn't use it the tool does. If he doesn't have it - go to sun.com and then look. Sunsoft iirc. I get mine from there and updates from time to time.

MS version was stripped and hacked (remember they lost the suit with Sun).
