w/good help or doc
|
| |
I'm trying to find a couple of newsreaders that have good help or docs. Soon I will be moving to a new comptuer, and it might be time for a change. The things I found easily available have pretty [excreable] docs and help. Good docs mean fewer questions, fewer misadventures. Any suggestions?

Opinions on newsreaders
|
| |
It's been about 6 years since I was interested in downloading binaries. At the time I used Xnews, but it doesn't seem to work so well with lots of headers. Has anyone tried the new TEST version? Is it ok or a waste of time? Any opinions on other readers greatly appreciated.
