Tell me about it. 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!

I don't see a current web site for MacSOUP. 

Is the last release really from 2009? ::

Real men don't wash hogs or eat soup ... they use Thoth, the God of
newsreaders.  ;-)

I just downloaded Thoth from CNET. But I had to jump through a bunch of
hoops and deny a few dialog boxes. But it did download:

http://download.cnet.com/Thoth/3000-2164_4-6733.html

Not sure how it will work without a registration code or if it needs
one.

You're nuts. CNET is well-known for adding adware & nagware to anything
you download from them.

Interstingly tho, the Thoth download from CNET lacked any of that tripe.  They
must not consider it a vector for any profit, so they didn't bother.

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.  :-(

Exactly what I ran into.  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.. :-/

Triple symmetry since many of the smart posters left long ago and the
place is now mostly full of those with the brains of a "dodo" (like
nospam and the other know-nothings). :-(

I'm just not willing to put up with xterm. I just run slrn in Terminal
without x-face support (even though I have an x-face defined, though
I've long forgotten what it is).

It's be nice if MTNW was updated, but there's been precious few good

Understood.. for the times I'm lazy I'll probably set up a slrn without the
import for the xface support..

Oh. and your X-Face is a Yin-Yeng

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.

Yet Thoth works with Yosemite and that is basically the same UI

Basically the same doesn't mean identical.
