Hell, I flirted with Hogwasher as far back as 1999, and even then it was stuck in a buggy state without a recent update. I realise to run in OSX it has been updated since, but the trouble is bugfixes are years apart. MacSOUP may be a bit odd and lacking in modern polish, but it's far better than Hogwasher for text groups. Always has been IME. Stefan Hallar always gets on top of serious bugs, and hasn't left me hanging in nearly two decades! -- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

I pretty sure it's a time limited version (30 days?) until you enter the registration code, although I registered the couple of old versions I've used, so I don't know what happens when the demo time runs out ... the problem is that it's no longer supported and the website no longer exists to actually register it. Apparently the old registration codes don't work in the newest version either. :-(

My code doesn't work with the newest Thoth so I set up slrn and to get xface support I run slrn in an xterm with slrnface. Works great and does everything I need. It's sad that Mac Usenet readers have all but gone the way of the Dodo.. :-/ -- If you can't read this, blame a teacher.

The code is basically obsolete. The UI components would have to be updated for 64-bit.. the entire network transport layer won't work with Yosemite any more either. He said the easiest thing to do would be to "cherry pick the usable parts of the code and start over from scratch" but he's not sure there's enough people left using Usenet in Mac to make it worthwhile. I'd take a stab at it if I had the code but I don't really have that kind of time these days. -- When it's dark enough you can see the stars. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson,
