flnews is a client with graphical user interface to read USENET newsgroups. It is intended for POSIX compliant operating systems running the X window system. The main development goals are (in order of importance): - No bloat - Support for old workstations - Standard compliance - Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others - Compatibility with other newsreaders - Usable X display redirection via network (or ssh tunnel) - Warn users about things that are not forbidden but considered "bad practice" Features that are currently not implemented (or not usable yet): - UUCP - Multiple servers - Offline mode (for network connection via dialup line)
