When I was poking around fairly recently, it appeared that most of the Open Source apps for Mac were, in fact, wrapping C code from Newswatcher, or maybe TIN. That certainly works, but no one should be expecting to stumble across an elegant Objective-C library for NNTP. (Attempting to write one of those is always one of those projects I promise myself I'm going to try to tackle some day, and never do.) Newswatcher itself is not Open Source (the source code was available, but was owned by Northwestern; if memory serves, there was also a non-commercial use clause attached to the source). There are slightly more modern versions of the app in the form of MT-NewsWatcher, NewsWatcher-X, and a few others. > Panic's Unison is probably a surprisingly modern NNTP codebase. Yeah, I would tend to agree with this. Whether they'd be willing to license it out... Well, it'd be worth asking them! As far as rolling one's own with sockets goes, I'll also plug AsycSockets here as a somewhat higher-level API than BSD / CFSocket: http://code.google.com/p/cocoaasyncsocket/ Sixten _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
