If anyone is using Hogwasher as their newsreader on a Mac, I could use
some advice on setting it up.

Can't help with that, but I can say that I've been using
MT-NewsWatcher on the Mac for several years (since Thoth
development quit) and am pleased with it. And it's free
free free.

I've been using MT-NewsWatcher for probably close to 10 years. I haven't
found anything better.

The one big annoyance is that when I got my latest machine (dual-core
MacBook Pro), it started exhibiting frequent but non-deterministic errors
on startup which I'm sure are due to some race condition in the ftp section
of the code which never exhibited itself on a uniprocessor.

I tried Hogwasher once and wasn't too impressed. I don't remember the
details of why, just that I didn't like it and went back to MT-NW.

Thanks Roy. I'm checking it out.
