Looking for a web server which provides news headlines. I link to
an AP or UPI server would be fantastic! Anyone seen such a site?

Most sites cannot provide these kinds of direct news feeds cuz AP or UPI
would be on them faster than business on the net.

I have a link to the CNN Headline news feeds section from my Weird Wild
Wonderful on the WWW page from Links from the Underground:

Hope this is somethin' like what you're lookin' for.

But when you try this link you get the following error message:

"Contact Chet Rhodes (301)405-2402 to access this system. It is restricted
to Educational groups with CNN permission. Sorry, we don't allow off-site
access to this server."

I have noticed that the WinMosaic clients (well, at least 2.0a5) don't
handle 2-color GIFs where one of the colors is transparent.
For example, a black-on-transparent icon is displayed as black-on-white.

My XMosaic client does properly display 2-color transparent icons.

I have "solved" this by editing the icon to have at least 3 colors
(even one pixel at a 3rd color is enough). This seems to fix it.

Hope it helps,
Dave
