There may or may not be a probem with STARTTLS, but the "proper" way to
do it is NNTPS, and that's what I've been using since last May.  So I'm
happy to release 1.55 now, even if STARTTLS doesn't work.

I've only ever sent it out to a very small number of people, one of
whom was Andrew Rawnsley.  I've never made it available from my site.

I'm preparing a distribution release of 1.55 now.  Steve, you have
email.

Steve is the keeper of the git repo.  There are one or two details to
be resolved before distro and source become available.

If anyone is interested: NewsHound is old fashioned in that it keeps
its configuration within the app.  This has been frowned on for years.
Trouble is, it's going to be difficult to write code that puts the
config in Choices$Write for new users, but doesn't just blindly look
there and start up without a configuration if someone simply copies a
new version over an old.  Thoughts welcome!

David
