News for NT - Pros and Cons
Features in News for NT include multithreading, quick find, an easy 'catch up' command, send mail, multiple windows (multiple newsgroups can be viewed at the same time), sorting by threads, article filters, UUdecode, and Rot13 encrypting/decrypting. While this collection of features is no match for those of apps like Agent and News Xpress, News for NT does offer fast 32-bit newsreading capabilities.
Still, News for NT could use additional features like thread monitoring, more sort options (the current version only has three), hypertext support (for launching an external Web browser for URLs), efficient online/offline switching, and automatic catching up. A speed infusion would also be necessary for making News for NT more competitive with the current fare of newsreaders.
