slrn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
slrn is an open source text-based news client. It was originally developed for Unix-like operating systems, but is now available for many other operating systems, including Microsoft Windows.
slrn runs through a textual user interface and is highly customizable. It uses the S-Lang library written by the same author, John E. Davis. The slrn name derives from the use of S-Lang and its function to read news.
slrn was maintained by Thomas Schultz from 2000 to 2007, but development is now again in the hands of the original author John E. Davis. Current development focuses on better support for different character sets and tighter integration of the S-Lang language processor. New versions named "pre-0.99" showing these new features have been made available as developer previews.
