I'm pleased to announce the release of Pronews/2 v1.60
Pronews/2 is a multithreaded NNTP Newsreader program for OS/2.
If you are upgrading from any Pronews/2 release prior to 1.59 you are strongly
advised to make a backup copy of the file \pronews\toolbar.ini as this release
changes the on-disk format of this file. You will not be able to run a previous
release of Pronews/2 unless you restore an old copy of this file.
If you are upgrading from a release prior to 1.54 then you are strongly urged to
backup your existing filter files as the files have a different on-disk format
from 1.54 onwards. Failure to backup files *.FLT in \pronews and
\pronews\headers will mean it will be impossible to use your filters if you
should need to revert to a release prior to 1.54. You should also read the
readme.txt file installed in the \pronews directory as this covers changes and
new features from prior releases as well as tips for making Pronews/2 quicker.
You can find Pronews/2 1.60 on
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/incoming (later to be
ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/apps/internet/news/reader) as pn2v160.zip.
Pronews/2 is shareware and all profits from its sale are donated to the charity
Save the Children.
