 The entire Pimmy program can be carried around and run from a floppy, 
 but it can't import or export newsrc files so you'd be locked in to 
 using nothing but Pimmy.  Your needs sound too heavy for that. 
  
 You don't necessarily need to use the same newsreader at work & home, 
 but if you're carrying newsrc from one to the other then you do need 
 to be acccessing the same SERVER.
