Hi Stephen; Wasn't the question the other direction? A Windows app that will work as well (yeah, right ;->) as the one he uses in Mandrake?

Bill you might want to check check: http://www.google.com/ for "dockable newsreaders": http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=dockable+newsreaders&btnG=Google+Search for example. There seems to be a lot of links for such a beast. For free-ware in windows I used to use (and still recommend to friends using that operating system): http://www.sover.net/~whoi/Index.html The search on the site sorta sucks though which is why I recommended Google. Look in the "Internet" section for news apps I believe. The site owner checks the listed software for "spyware" and apparently flags any that are. Used to anyway. Good luck. -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org There comes a time in the affairs of a man when he has to take the bull by the tail and face the situation. -- W.C.
