Note that B netnews was specifically designed to be compatible with Rand's MH system. You can use the Rand "news" program with it unchanged, if you really want such a simple interface. I would be especially interested to hear from people who want to use this compatibility feature. Some improvements have been suggested (such as changing .'s to /'s in subdir names so that we can have more than 13 characters of significance in newsgroup names) that would break this compatibility. Or perhaps MH can be changed with it?
