Most of you do not even deserve a spit
compared to just about any "kook".
Think about that.
Kooks provide you with fluidity and a sense of unsupressed,
unhindered freedom.
They are the birds of peace flying high.
Respect them.

And praise the lord they walk among you.
Most of you do not even deserve a spit
compared to just about any "kook".
Think about that.
Kooks provide you with fluidity and a sense of unsupressed,
unhindered freedom.
They are the birds of peace flying high.
Respect them.

Get yourself the most powerful tool for usenet you ever heard of.
Version 3.7.1 has been released.
It supports Sun's JVM and includes class files.
It is verified to work under Windows with Sun's JVM
and with Microsoft JVM/VM.
It is also verified to work under Linux.
Should also work under Unix.
NewsMaestro download page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=203356
Web page:
http://tarkus01.by.ru/
Note: You need to have JVM (Java Virtual Machine)
installed. Otherwise, the program won't run on some versions
of Windows. Try to run the program and if you see the
main window, it means you do have it installed already.
A quick search on the Internet will find it
easily. The file size should be around 5 megs.
You can try this one for starters:
http://www.java-virtual-machine.net/download.html
It should have links to sites that have it.
If you download and install Microsoft's version of JVM,
you can simply double click on NewsMaestro to run it.
JVM is available in Microsoft or Sun (original creator
of Java language) versions.
Visit sun.com to get it, if you can find it in all that
maze, and if you can even download jvm without the entire
development kit.
