Xnews

Xnews is a freeware newsreader created by Luu Tran, with a web site at http://xnews.newsguy.com/. It is 100% GNKSA 2.0 (http://www.gnksa.org/) compliant, and some of its features were inspired by the program NewsXpress.

Luu Tran says that he designs the Xnews interface and features for himself only, reflecting his "preferences, habits, and sensibility" (http://xnews.newsguy.com/manual.html). This might seem like a self-centered point of view in designing it, but many usenet users have found their points of view in perfect alignment with those of Luu Tran.

Questions and discussion about Xnews have dominated the Usenet group news.software.readers for quite some time.
