Default What a bag of ****

Felly sgrifennodd Will Hand :
Strewth, 'trn', I was using that in 1993 on a Sun Sparcstation running SunOS
UNIX !!! :-)


And it's still the best IMHO; what other newsreader gives you a clear 50
lines per screen, doesn't clutter it up with menus, lets you choose your
editor (vim in my case), and allows you so many configuration options?

It also has the great advantage of being available anywhere, so long as
you can ssh into the machine you run it on, and all your configurations
are still there.

Wasn't it just rn back in 1993 (i.e. not threaded)? I too remember running
it from a Sun Sparc machine back in the early 90s, in the good ol' days
before Microsoft Windows became the scourge that it now is.
