## slrn-0.9.9pl1p0 – SLang-based newsreader

## Description

    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).
