Newsreaders:  Setting up Trumpet Newsreader


Q.  How do I get Trumpet Newsreader?

A.  You can copy it from the developer's system, but that's often hard to get
    to, so we keep copies locally on halcyon:

         ftp://ftp.halcyon.com/pub/slip/news/

    Copy both zip files:

         wtwsk10a.zip
         wtwsk10b.zip

    ...in binary mode to the same directory on your PC.  Unzip 10a first,
    then 10b.  You'll end up with the latest (beta) version of a great news
    reader that's easy to configure, understand, and use.  If you like it
    and use it, send Trumpet Software International $40 and your thanks.

 
Q.  Okay, now that I have it, how do I set it up?
