[geeks] News help

[Chris Byrne]

Yeah I know the ID thing that's why I was wondering if it was a doable
feature.

I actually just downloaded gravity and the supergravity mod and I'm going to
try them out.

AFAIK, the unique id's associated with a particular news post are server
specific. So you couldn't (easily) sync across servers. But I could be
wrong. I remember reading an article on a Perl site where the author wrote a
script to convert his .newsrc from one ISP to another, it was a fairly
involved process.

I like Anawave Gravity for reading news on Windows. I don't know if they are
still around, but I have the install if you need it. It is very customizable
and it just works.
