I am new to slrn.  I have been using tin-1.3.  I have a few simple-minded
questions.  I should amend the subject line to add "and slrn files".

What is slrn an acronym for?

What is the difference between slrn and slrn1, generally speaking?  I
began this session using

slrn1 -f .newsrc

as that is what I saw other users doing.  I assumed slrn1 must be a more
recent version that slrn.

Slrn only seems to read the .newsrc file, which I believe tin-1.3 also
reads.  Does slrn create any other files not used by tin-1.3?  I ask
because I am concerned about generating superfluous large files on my ISP
by using both.

This is one I also always wanted to know. Is it "s-lang read news"?
