It is the support newsgroup for the DOS program cppnews, a shareware 
news and mail reader developed particularly to appeal to Demon 
Internet customers using KA9Q as their news and mail agent (but 
applicable to other users too).

As DOS programs are no longer popular, cppnews usage has decreased 
markedly lately. There is still a core of users, though - I 
understand DOS programs are useful for those with a visual 
disability, as text-to-speech converters are available which work 
well with DOS.

Just to wake everyone else up, I am currently porting cppnews to 
Java, with a full graphical user interface. I hope to announce 
JavaNews later this year.
