______________________________________________________________________________ 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? A.
