slrn (``s-lang read news'') is a newsreader, i.e. a program that
|
|
accesses a newsserver to read messages from the Internet News service
|
|
(also known as ``Usenet''). It runs in console mode on various
|
|
Unix-like systems (including Linux), 32-bit Windows, OS/2, BeOS and
|
|
VMS.
|
|
|
|
Beside the usual features of a newsreader, slrn supports scoring
|
|
rules to highlight, sort or kill articles based on information from
|
|
their header. It is highly customizable, allows free key-bindings
|
|
and can easily be extended using the sophisticated s-lang macro
|
|
language. Offline reading is possible by using either slrnpull
|
|
(shipped with slrn) or a local newsserver (like leafnode or INN).
