Slrnconf is a graphical configuation utility for the newsreader slrn. It is intended to make the hairy configuration of SLRN a bit easier. Slrnconf will try to read your ~/.slrnrc at startup. If you're using a different file, just open it via File -> Open. There are no command line switches.

TIN is an easy to use threaded newsreader with NOV/NNTP support.

With XPN you can read/write articles on the Usenet with a good MIME support (better than some well known newsreaders). XPN can operate with all the most diffuse charset starting from US-ASCII to UTF-8. When you edit an article XPN automatically chooses the best charset, however is always possible to override this choice. There also other useful features like scoring, filtered views, random tag-lines, external editor support, one-key navigation, ROT13, spoiler char.

yencode is an encoder/decoder package for the Usenet yEnc encoding format. The source code is freely available under the GNU General Public License and should work on most modern Unix-like operating systems. Features: - Full internationalization (multilingual) support provided by GNU gettext. - Encoder can output single part or multipart encoded archives of any size. - Smart decoder can handle multiple files, including files specified out of order or with nonsense file names. - Included Usenet posting software posts files to Usenet quickly and easily, including automatic creation of encoded multipart archives and SFV/CRC checksum files, if desired. - Optional scan mode: automatically locate and decode single or multipart encoded archives in specified directories or recursively. - Supports SFV file creation for multiple-file archives. - Fully compliant with the current yEnc specifications.

yydecode started life as a decoder for yEnc encoded binaries, which have recently appeared on Usenet. yydecode works almost identically to the infamous uudecode program. Version 0.2.8 and onwards contains a superset of uudecode's functionality, (ie. decodes standard uuencoded files, as well as Base64 [RFC2045] encoded files produced by uuencode) and hence can be used as a drop-in replacement in all circumstances.

PHP News Reader is a web based News Reader. It supports the standard NNTP protocol (RFC 977) for reading, posting, deleting, forwarding and replying news articles. Features: * Read/Post/Reply/Crosspost/Forward/Delete articles to/from News server(s). * Multiple News server and multiple catalog of news groups. * Support NNTP over SSL (NNTPS) and NNTP authentication. * Posting and downloading for uuencoded attachment. * Easy to install, no database access and IMAP is not required. * Authentication is easily configured to work with your existing system. * Multiple language interface and Traditional/Simplified Chinese coding conversion.

TICKR is a Free Open Source, GTK-based RSS READER application which displays RSS FEEDS in a TICKER bar on your desktop. With a single click, you get the latest headlines scrolling in a thin window on your desktop, as what can be seen on News TV channels.

The OSSP lmtp2nntp program is an LMTP service for use in conjunction with an MTA (like Sendmail), providing a reli- able real-time mail to news gateway. Input messages get their headers slightly reformatted to match Usenet news article format. The article is then posted or feeded into a remote NNTP service (like INN). Delivery must take place immediately or the transaction fails. OSSP lmtp2nntp relies on the queuing capabilities of the MTA in order to provide a fully reliable service. For this the program returns proper delivery status notification which indi- cates successful completed action, persistent transient failure or permanent failure.

RipIT is used to create MPEG-1 Layer 3 (mp3) using Lame, or uses Flac (flac), Ogg Vorbis (ogg) or Faac (m4a) to convert audio files (wav) extracted from an audio CD. It is a console based front-end (no GUI here), written in Perl, for various programs. The program will do the following without user intervention: * getting the audio CD Album/Artist/Tracks information from CDDB * ripping the audio CD Tracks * encoding to Flac, mp3 or Ogg * id3 tags encoded songs * creating an playlist (m3u) file * optionally generating a toc (cue) sheet for nice DAO burning * optionally preparing and send a CDDB submission and save it locally * optionally extracting hidden songs and split ghost songs * optionally creating md5sum files for all tracks * running several encoder processes at the same time and same run
