Given how many apparent geniuses subscribe to comp.lang.c++ I'm amazed none of them have written their own newsreader. NNTP is quite a simple protocol after all. I did and I'm using it now. Ok, its command line, not GUI but it does the job and I can make it do whatever I want. >because Google is making a loss on them.

Lets hope they sell/give it away first instead of just binning the entire Dejanews archive. However if you want a free news server use aioe.org. Obviously being an apparent hobby server it might vanish too suddenly but I've been using it for at least 10 years now and its still going strong. |

There's no need to. Really, talk about wheel re-invention. Hey, here's an idea, why not write a new OS? Who needs Linux? Who need z/OS? (etc) trn (and similar, such as "tin") does everything you need, so why not use it? You'd spend a lot of time, just to get up to the level of functionality of trn.

I can think of many possible reasons to (re)create an existing tool: - the existing tools do not provide the functionality you require, or - the existing tools do not provide the usability you require, or - you wish to incorporate the tool's functionality into another tool, or - the tool is unavailable on your platform, or - you wish to learn how to write the tool, or - you wish to attempt to improve the existing tools FWIW, I'm attempting to write an X11 Display Manager using low-level Xlib calls, not because there are no X11 Display Managers available, but because I wish to learn about X11, and I would like a Display Manager that works the way /I/ want it to work.

I get the impression from news.software.readers that when people post about creating new newsreaders these days the are looking for features you don't get in tin/trn. Things like working well with multiple news servers (track reading by message ID instead of by sequential id in news spool) or working better with local personal cached copies instead of copies on a remote shared server. I can see a bit of appeal there, but not enough to actually go through the exercise myself. Elijah ------ typically is satisfied with bending trn to his will |

(etc) >Someone is reinventing the literal wheel right now in the world of high >end bicycles, though. I'd be interested to know more about that (as a cyclist myself). Also, this whole sub-thread about re-inventing trn, makes me think of a certain frequent poster who is always going on about how he's gonna re-invent everything. Haven't heard from him in quite a while, though (thankfully). -- The randomly chosen signature file that would have appeared here is more than 4 lines long.
