You might want to ask in a group which knows Windows apps. Hm... maybe
crossposting will do it.
Hey, can you Windows people answer this one? MT-Newswatcher is a
multi-windowed (one for newsgroups, one for subjects in one newsgroup,
etc.) newsreader with excellent filtering (even does regexps!). Whatcha
got like that? Agent is the reverse: everything in one window, I think.

Even in the Mac world, there aren't any other multi-window newsreaders,
are there? Everything uses that 3-pane model.

MacSOUP is multi-window. It is an off-line reader, some might not want
that, but many of us swear by it (see my headers for one).
See: <http://home.snafu.de/stk/macsoup/> for info.
But that does not answer the OP question of multi-window readers on
Windows. :-)

All the variants on the original Newswatcher are multiwindowed. I don't
know of more 'cause I've not looked, being happy with what I'm using. I
forget what Unison looks like.

Actually, Forte's Agent will display all panes in the same window, or
in different windows, according to one's desire.
That is the basic difference between Apple apps and Windows apps.
Windows apps provide various alternate configurations which you may or
may not use, at your convenience, not just one, while Apple apps
scream "my (the developer's) way, or the highway".
Selfish, vain little creatures, these Apple developers are.
Please reply to the original newsgroup and thread,
so that the conversation may continue undisturbed.

Hogwasher 4.2.2 will allow one to pretty much have either the old
single-window, multipaned brower, or a multi-windowed one. You have
to really look for the control (very small and kind of "hidden"), but
it's there.
However, now that I can dual-boot with XP, I am beginning to use XP to
do Usenet. Of course, the best XP Usenet client is Forte's Agent.
Agent, will allow one to have almost any brower arrangement one wants,
including multi-windowed or single-windowed, multipaned.

Unison pretty much has a single-window, multipaned brower, but the
arrangement is not three panes, but actually several.
Almost all Apple and Windows Usenet clients have a separate window for
the All-Newsgroups listing.
And almost all the Newswatcher clan have separate windows for each
Subscription grouping.

I guess the one time I tried Free Agent, I didn't find that option.

Yeah, we discussed the 1969 Mets and the 1980 US Olympic hockey team a
while back, but he appears to draw too much comfort from stereotyping to
ever let go of that.

I doubt seriously whether any such thing will ever happen. I like my
personality as it is, thank you very much. I've spent 61 years
working on it, and I am not going to change it.
You, on the other hand, could certainly do with a little improvement,
personality-wise.

Mr. Rosenberg,if you are referring to me, I have never discussed
ANYTHING having to do with sport with you, especially the 1969 Mets or
ANY hockey team. In my opinion, Ice Hockey is by and far the most
violent sport in existence, and it certainly is not something which
interests me even in the least.
Perhaps you need to lay aside your interest in sport, and turn instead
toward your Messiah, Who is waiting for you to recognize Him and
return to His Father.

I'm sorry, my previous post wasn't at all clear. Michelle and I are the
"we" in that sentence; she and I had previously discussed those two
modern-day miracles.

Exactly! As I said, you appear to draw too much comfort from
stereotyping to ever let go of that.

Well, Mike, if a "stereotype" describes REALITY, it is certainly
valid.
Anyway, nothing wrong with stereotyping. Leftists do it all the
time, after all.

By definition, a stereotype is not a description of reality.

How does one make it do this? Also, how can I get it to import a newsrc
file?
I find myself in the OP's position. I'm loading an XP machine now that
my Wallstreet is dead. I tried XNews, which reminded me of old Losedows
programs where all windows are constrained by a large window.
So now I've purchased a copy of Agent. Given your note, I looked for a
way to make it behave. No joy so far. Then I remembered that Windows
apps don't tend to do that. So, how do I get it to do so?

I've added this newsgroup to Agent so I can check this thread using
Agent. Also, so I can test the settings. Yes yes, I know about
"test" groups.

XNews isn't bad as far as Windows newsreaders go. There is a setting to
make article windows pop up on the screen from the underlying subject
list - that way you aren't confined to the pane section.

I'll look for it. The best thing about XNews as far as I can tell is
that it uses newsrc-formatted files, like MT-Newswatcher, so it's easy
to move my current "read" set back and forth.
