- Since you seem to be using TIN as an _online_ reader, the only other such
- reader I can think of is GRn:
- GRn-2.1a.lha comm/news 232K 56+Gadtools-based newsreader for AS225R2/Am
-
- Many people seem to use this; I personally can't get along with it - the GUI
- feels uncomfortable. TIN doesn't even have a "real" GUI, but I still prefer it
- (probably because I got used to it under SunOS, where XRn (yech) was the
- only available alternative at the time).
-
- There is also a commercial version of GRn available, for about $50 as part
- of INetUtils Pro.
