You made me curious. I downloaded slrn and tried it but I did not succeed. Is
there some tutorial for dummies? I tried to manage to install it but after I
clicked on C:\program files\slrn.exe my computer tries to start but after a few
seconds nothing happens. Reading 'readme' I get confused. Am I mistaken to
conclude slrn is not compatible using a mouse?

This is total abacadabra for me:
"To build slrn, build the S-Lang library first.  S-Lang is available
from space.mit.edu in pub/davis/slang.  slrn uses S-Lang for most of
the dirty work such as keymaps, terminal i/o, and screen management.
Once S-Lang has been compiled, compile slrn.  Under Unix, this is
accomplished by running the configure script via:

    ./configure
    [edit src/slrnfeat.h and src/Makefile]
    make
    make install

Notes:

   *  It may be necessary to edit the Makefile in src/Makefile.
   *  Be sure to look at src/sysconf.h after running the configure script
       but BEFORE running make.
   *  If you want support for a local news spool or for inews, edit
       src/slrnfeat.h. (...)"
