like it. -

close.NewsRover and NewsBin are good for binary groups,

I use Netscape 7.1, like it fine.
I no longer use the Netscape browser that much anymore--mostly use
Safari for that, or FireFox when I'm using my Wintel box...Sheldon "MSIE? Never!" Brown

any where you want. Other news readers limit you to positioning the
sub-windows within the main window.

system forced an upgrade from Windows 95 to Windows XP, I found WinVN
didn't work under XP. Is there now a version that supports XP?jeverett3<AT>earthlink<DOT>net http://home.earthlink.net/~jeverett3

and it's also not hard to do worse. -

tin, a console newsreader. Then my ideas of a nice news reader
might be very different from yours, the same goes for anyone else
answering. One reason why there are so many...Quoted message said:

screw up things, follows the standards. What do you miss?news.software.readers might be a more appropriate group.

download a huge number of headers. Other than that, it is the most
elegant newsreader out there. Maybe so many Usenet posters have a stick
up their ass because they spend too much time with a logically twisted
and ugly interface. -

http://www.forteinc.com/agent/Free Agent is free, doesn't have all the features of Agent, but
close.Ditto on Agent, and it runs quite nicely under recent versions of wine
(last two years or so). Now if I could just figure out how to use
Eudora with wine, I'd never have to boot Windoze.Pat
