Download Xnntp beta 0.7.4 for 10.4.11+

P.S.: In case of a update, from beta05 you have to run the installer for each user.
The postfight-script is not clever enough jet to work for all users.
Major 0.7.* will be the last version for 10.4

Please send me some feedback.

Thanx for the given feedback. I was able to fix some bugs with your help in 0.7.4.
0.7.4 seems to be a good and stable working snapshot.

 Donation:

The best thing would be you give me a job.

If you think Xnntp is a good thing or has a good chance to become your favourite newsreader you can also donate me via:

That would have the benefit for you, that I have more time to make your newsreader better, instead of hunting for money. If you have special wishes for the software you don't want to miss - just ask me.
I will be able to realize that soon.

Donation of Apple Computer parts.
If you have a broken machine you don't need anymore, please send it to me or ask me for repair. My prices are much lower than the factory repairs. Since factory repairs are often so expensive that you could buy a new one, this is the only reasonable way to keep these elder machines running. Please send the computer or usable spare parts to this address:
