Trn is Threaded RN -- a newsreader that uses an article's references to
|
||
|
|
order the discussions in a very natural, reply-ordered sequence called
|
||
|
|
threads. Having the replies associated with their parent articles not
|
||
|
|
only makes following the discussion easier, but also makes it easy to back-
|
||
|
|
track and (re-)read a specific discussion from the beginning. Trn also
|
||
|
|
has a visual representation of the current thread in the upper right corner
|
||
|
|
of the header, which will give you a feel for how the discussion is going
|
||
|
|
and how the current article is related to the last one you read.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition, a thread selector makes it easy to browse through a large
|
||
|
|
group looking for interesting articles. You can even browse through the
|
||
|
|
articles you've already read and select the one(s) you wish to read again.
|
||
|
|
Other nice features include the extract commands for the source and binary
|
||
|
|
groups, thread-oriented kill directives, a better newgroup finding strategy,
|
||
|
|
and lots more. See the file NEW for a list of the things that are new to
|
||
|
|
trn 3.0 from previous versions.
