|Description:
|------------
|
|Knews is a threaded newsreader with an X Window interface that
|uses NNTP to get news. It displays the threads in a graphical tree.
|For more information read the man page e.g. with 'nroff -man knews.man'.
|
|
|Requirements:
|-------------
|
|To compile it you need an ANSI C compiler and X11R5 or R6.
|The distribution includes a POSIX.2 regular expression package
|in case your system doesn't have it. (GNU regex is ok.)
|
|For info on how to compile, se the file INSTALL.
|
|
|Where to get it:
|----------------
|
|You can get the latest version at
|http://www.matematik.su.se/users/kjj/knews.html
|
|
|Platforms:
|----------
|
|Knews has been developed and tested on the following platforms:
|
|Linux 1.2.1 i586  with X11R6
|OSF1 V2.0 alpha   with X11R5
|SunOS 4.1.3 sun4m with X11R6 and X11R5
|
|I have not been able to test it with X11R4, and I would be interested to
|know what changes are necessary.

|Knews was created by Karl-Johan Johnsson, kjj@matematik.su.se.

I can add that it built and runs OK on Solaris 2.4 (x86).
