  What news reading sotware is there available for me to get my hands on?

  Thor:  tried it, but it seems to be overly complicated for just
reading newsgroups... it also insists on reading in every *whole*
article, so I'd face an hour or so collecting news items, of which I'd
only read 10% of or so.  I couldn't figure a way just to update the
article subjects, so I could then pick & choose. 

  Mnews:  this was a nice program; easy to use, does what
I want; unfortunately in its current release, it's single-threaded and a
bit buggy.  

  I don't want to try those Elm and Tin readers, because they seem to
want me to install UUCP.
