Very Computer

        I'm looking for a news reader with offline capabilities (i've got a
slip connection with a provider) , and if possible for X. Till now
i've been using Free Agent for *Winblows* (amazing news reader!!!) but
it's very annoying to have to reboot the computer only to read news
(i'm developing X-apps all the time). Any suggestions will be
appreciated. Saludos

To read your news, you can use several programs:

    tin, trn, nn, knews, xfnews, ...

This is a mixture of text and graphical oriented programs. Try each
of them and find out yourself what is the best for you (I used tin
first and changed now to knews). Ask archie where to get this
programs.

Hope that helps.
