    note Quinn C' s great Xface !




    Is there another way to show someone 's X-face, other than giving a link to NovaBBS ?

    Many newsreaders have the ability to display xface. If you are using tin,
    and your DISPLAY variable is set, it will pop up a window with a picture in
    it. Many people explicitly disable this however. Do a man on tin.

    Does slrn support it?

    You will need to install the slrnface helper utility. Do a man on slrnface. --scott

    Yay! I've noticed that compface is hard to find on some systems (non Linux?)

    I find that some rslight users have trouble finding it. bsd mostly. I
    haven't run bsd in a while so I'm not sure if it's easily available.
