Description: Threaded USENET news reader, based on rn
trn is the most widely-used newsreader on USENET - even to the
point of being a de-facto standard. It has a powerful full screen
text mode user interface, where most actions are available at the
press of a single key. It is highly configurable.
.
This version of trn reads news from a news server via NNTP (the
Network News Transfer Protocol). You must have a news server
available - large sites usually provide a site-wide server.
.
If you install a news server on your system (either containing
just local newsgroups or with a partial or full USENET feed) you
can configure trn to access it.
