Description:

   C-News is a reimplementation of the transport and storage
   subsystems of the news software -- basically, everything
   except news readers.  We supply a simple news reader (written
   by Michael Rourke, included by permission, slightly modified
   [so bugs are probably our fault]) as a replacement for B-News
   readnews suited to use by occasional users.  For regular news
   users, there are several more sophisticated readers widely
   available, and all should work with C News.  We use Larry
   Wall's "rn" ourselves; we have not included it because this
   distribution is already rather big.
