Description: Threaded USENET news reader, based on rn (4.0 beta test)
trn is a threaded news reader with a long history, descended from Larry
Wall's rn (part of the second generation of newsreaders). 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. In this case you will also need to install
an appropriate 'inews' package for local posting.
.
This is a separate package from trn because trn 4.0 has enough
substantial changes in its default behaviour (for instance, the group
selector is new in 4.0) that some users prefer to stay with an older
version of trn.
