Last I heard he was working for Apple. I emailed him a couple of times
about either updating MTNW to not use OpenTransport or releasing the
code, but I never heard back from him.

I actually just heard back from him.  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.

Basically the same doesn't mean identical.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1442584/MacSOUP_2.4.6.sea.hqx will
run from System 7 through to 9, IIRC.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1442584/MacSOUP-2.8.3.dmg is newer,
though really not more useful, and runs from MacOS 9 though to OS X
10.6, IIRC.

The latest upgrade made it compatible with Mavericks. Can anyone
 confirm problems with Yosemite?

Version 2.8.4 from 2013 works great with Yosemite. See my headers.

No. MacSOUP 2.8.4 was released on 6 October 2013.

It fixed one bug which had annoyed me for several years: earlier
versions didn't notice that the UTC offset had changed on daylight
saving transitions, resulting in posts I made having a timestamp off by
an hour until I quit and relaunched MacSOUP.

2.8.4 also claims compatibility with Mavericks. I think I remember some
minor issues with 2.8.3 in recent OS X versions, so updating to 2.8.4
was worthwhile. It has been working fine for me in Yosemite as well.

Opps, I'm still using v2.8.3. And now I remember why - v2.8.4 made a few
changes I simply didn't need to deal with, at the expense of the most
minor inconvenience of the daylight savings timestamp bug. Since I still
use OS X 10.6, it made sense to stick with v2.8.3.

Wow, you are state of the art, I'm still using Tin 1.4.5.

Anyway I think the OP was dealing with binary groups, neither of which Tin
or Eternal September excels in.

tin also gets my vote for a command line client. I don't know why, but I
took to it when other CL clients never quite gelled for me. But then
again I'm not a big CL user - my unix-fu is very weak.

I tried Unison 2.2  on my 2012 MBA but it froze too often.  I returned 
back to Unison 2.1 which I had been using with no problems.    If 
anyone has any advice on how to make 2.2 more stable please post it

It's pretty stable on my Yosemite. Check your settings, just in case.

I dumped 2.2 after I tried it and couldn't download anything with it. 
It's find for reading, but I went back to 2.1.10 so I can download stuff.

I have been using 2.2 without issue, but I switch between that and 
1.8.1 which I still prefer over 2.2, and which I use more. It seems to 
me their development team had a rush of blood to the head when they 
came up with Version 2 and all that followed to 2.2. Of the version 2 
releases I find 2.2 to be the best of the that bunch.

I'm using Unison 2.2 under Yosemit 10.10.2 and I am not experiencing 
any problems.
