From the README: newsfish, quite simply, is a batch USENET news reader. In other words, it is not interactive, and it has a very simple user interface. The power of newsfish is that it can sift through articles and save only the ones that match your criteria. It does this by applying a set of regular expressions (a la grep/egrep) to the headers of each article. Articles are saved in mailbox format, which makes them suitable for viewing under most popular mail readers.

This module implements a client interface to NNTP, enabling a Perl 5 application to talk to NNTP servers. It uses the OOP (Object Oriented Programming) interface introduced with Perl 5.

PGP Moose / by Greg Rose <ggr@usenix.org> The aim of this software is to monitor the news postings of moderators of USENET newsgroups, and to automatically cancel forged messages purporting to be approved. This can be extended to the approvals of individual users to automatically cancel messages that appear without having been authorised by the user. This has (obviously) been prompted by the recent spammings and other events. This software and protocol is designed around cryptographic signatures. The protocol is designed to allow the use of different signature techniques. This implemention assumes the use of PGP signatures, but can be easily modified to use others, such as the Digital Signature Standard. PGP was chosen for its widespread availability around the world. PGP, the crux of the cryptographic software, was written by Phil Zimmermann <prz@acm.org>, who otherwise has nothing to do with this. The cryptographic framework was written by Greg Rose <ggr@usenix.org>, as were the INN news system hooks.

rawdog is an RSS Aggregator Without Delusions Of Grandeur. Written in Python, it uses Mark Pilgrim's feed parser. It runs from cron, collects articles from a number of feeds, and generates a static HTML page listing the newest articles in date order. It supports per-feed customizable update times, and uses ETags, Last-Modified, and gzip compression to minimize network bandwidth usage. rawdog's output format is similar to that of PyDS and Hep.

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.
