ClariNet at Home Made More Affordable
MV Communications, Inc. and ClariNet have reached an agreement
that substantially lowers the ClariNet subscription price for per-
sonal, home systems. ClariNet brings an online newspaper to your com-
puter, with UPI news stories, feature columns by such people as Dave
Barry and Mike Royko, sports and financial coverage, feature articles,
local news, weather, and so forth.
The full ClariNet information set, normally $35/month, can now be
had for $15/month for home use.
For business and other subscribers, attractive rates still apply.
For instance, just the news/sports subset of ClariNet for a 1-2 user
site is $11; ClariNet also offers steep discounts for multi-user
sites.
For more information about ClariNet, including free trials and
the new home use license, send email to info@clarinet.com, or call 1-
800-USE-NETS. Also check out the descriptive files (full, prices,
terms, trial) in the directory /news2/pub/mv/clarinet on mv. See the
end of this newsletter for a list of some of the ClariNet groups
available.
UUPC Extended 11v now online
The latest release of UUPC Extended for MSDOS, by Drew Darbyshire
and others, is now online on mv. This package allows your MSDOS com-
puter to be a usenet mail node and includes rudimentary usenet news
support. (A separate package for reading usenet news, SNEWS, is also
available on mv.) Version 11v of UUPC Extended can be found in the
directory /news2/pub/msdos/uupc on mv, in files named uupc11vx.zip,
where the x is replaced by one of {d,n,r,o,w,2,3} (d=documentation,
n=small news support, r=required programs, o=optional programs,
w=documentation in windows format, 2,3,4=OS/2 software).
If you're already using an earlier version of UUPC Extended, you

might want to pick up this version for its enhancements and bug fixes.
Watch out for a couple of programs (notably RMAIL and UUPOLL) that
have changed from .COM files to .EXE files-- since copying in the new
files won't overwrite them, you'll have to specifically delete the
old .COM versions of those files.
