migrating slrn settings to tin

Hello.

I'm an SLRN user, but I would like to try tin
for a while. The thing is, I use a slrn spool
cache because of convenience (I have a similar
setup for email, gopher and gemini with isync/
msmtp and friends).

Thus, would it be possible to reuse the SLRN
spool under tin, and posting it against the spool
so slrnpull batch sends and receives everything?

Long ago I've got it working with Emacs and GNUS,
but the speed was very subpar on my netbook,
it was glacial slow.

Thanks for your help.
