 Windows?
 
 

I am not sure if anyone ever actually used this guide but I had a huge
amount of fun putting it together :). And a huge amount of time when I
rewrote the slrn web site all those years ago...

Are there many of the old time slrn users left here? And if so what are
your future plans on Usenet and NSR?

 
 Yes! I'm using it from Linux and Android (in a Termux shell).
 My plans are to continue as usual on Linux, and if a good app
 becomes available on Android, I'll switch to that.

FWIW, I've used PhoNews for occassional checking in on a few of my
newsgroups, though I couldn't tolerate its somewhat limited
capabilities for all my reading needs.  It's not bad.
