The first release of simplenews, a non-threaded newsreader based on 
the ncurses library is available.

  - accesses multiple servers easily
  - filters excessively cross-posted articles
  - simple user interface
  - context sensitive help
  - users can choose their favorite editor at compile time


This software was developed on Linux - but my ISP runs BSDI
(with ncurses-1.9.9e installed) and I have been able to
compile and run it on his machine just fine..

Feedback welcome..        Enjoy!
