/ slrn.htmlSLRN is a powerful, easy to use, threaded internet newsreader for Unix, VMS, OS/2, and Win32 systems. It is highly customizable, permitting one to redefined keys, and includes a sophisticated macro language for further customization. In addition, SLRN provides full support for score files allowing one to design complex filters to sort or kill articles based on how well an article scores.

The user must have the directory containg the S-Lang dynamic
library in their LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This should
probably be set up in a shell script. For the first use,
specify a newsrc file, and the create option as shown below:
|
|
|
|
user:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gnu/lib
|
||
user: export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
||
user: slrn -f
.jnewsrc -create -d
|
||
The -d option causes the
newsgroup descriptions to be downloaded and stored. This
can take some time, and generate a large file, so you may
want to omit this flag.
