Shell script news software

Someone called from Edmunton recently looking for B news to run on an
Altos 586.

The Altos is too small to run real B news, due to a 128K per process
memory limitation.  I was wondering if anyone has a collection of shell
scripts which will implement B news for a leaf node.

All that is needed is the ability to unbatch news, in some form or
another, and to send single articles to another site for posting or
whatever.  And of course some shell scripts to do news expires and
the like.
