[Dtb-talk] NFBnewsline and the Mac

[David Andrews]

There is not a newsline in your pocket for the Mac, although it is 
written in Java, an advantage of which is supposed to be that it can 
easily be made to run on different platforms.  You can certainly 
download files to your mac, and transfer them to the Stream, but you 
will have to do it manually.  You can also get newsline files via 
e-mail, then transfer them to Stream.

p.s.  It is probably best to contact companies directly, humanware, 
nfb newsline, as they don't necessarily read this list.
