I need an online newsletter program.

Ideally:
Program 1
Hidden from the general users. Special editors would know where to post. The editors are generally not computer knowledgeable. Copy and paste would be the best way if they did not want to stay on line long enough to write an article.
Archive every so often.

Program 2
Everybody has access. No posting ability, read only. Sets a cookie to keep track of last reads. Can be called from a web menu.

I will take whatever is out there. If its written in Ansi C or PHP I know a little and can hack on it.

Thanks in advance for any information you can furnish.

Sounds like a CMS (Content Management System) system..

http://www.opensourcecms.com

You can look at dozens of Content Management Systems at that site, view doemos of the various software as well as play in the admin interface.

Postnuke or MDPro are fairly easy to configure and get running, if you use godaddy for hosting they have a 1 click install of several popular CMS Systems such as postnuke, Joomla, Xoops, etc.. You can assign permissions by user, allow certain users the ability to add posts, or manage specific parts of the system.
