Originally developed by the open-source community, for Linux and UNIX platforms; it is now also available for Windows. It is endlessly configurable, and has more features than any mortal being will ever get around to using. The developers also claim that it is the only newsreader to be awarded a perfect score by "Good Net-Keeping Seal of Approval " (whoever they are.....). I have used it for several years, and heartily recommend it.
