  Discussion of software used to read network news.

  An unmoderated discussion for newsreading software.
  
  Potential topics for discussion include:
    - rn and its variants
    - tass
    - xrn
    - gnus
    - Other platforms (Mac, MSDOS, VM)
    - design issues - if you decide to write or significantly modify one.
  
  Religious wars - rn vs nn, or gnus vs xrn - are not encouraged.
  
  Technical issues about nn, notes, anu-news, and PSU NetNews will
  probably find more answers in their respective newsgroups, but they
  are not excluded from discussion here.
