tNews provides a PHP4 template-based news script with a full Web-based administration system.

tNews is a set of PHP4 scripts designed to provide easy-to-use basic news headline support for websites. The system uses HTML-based templates to specify formatting of news pages, providing complete control of page appearance to the webmaster.

The systems backend is provided by a MySQL database, and support is included for generation of both news and old news pages. News HTML pages are only regenerated when changes are made to news headlines, so end users suffer no delays caused by database access or parsing of scripting code.

All administration and setup is done through a Web-based interface, so no editing of text files is required.

Gunner News Reader project is a console-based news reader.
Gunner is a console-based Usenet news reader which is easy to configure. It supports multiple users, multiple servers, and color consoles. It supports most of the NNTP protocol.
WHAT IS IT?
Gunner is a free Usenet news reader. It was built on a code base provided by Howard Bensons SimpleNews 0.20 with a user interface design patterned after the great Mutt mail client. It supports color terminals, the NNTP protocol, multiple news feeds and multiple users. Gunner is supported on most contemporary UNIX platforms. The Gunner philosophy is similar to Mutts: All news readers suck, were just hoping to make this one suck less.
WHERE IS IT?
Currently there is only one gunner repository. The latest version of gunner may be obtained via anonymous ftp: North America East Coast. This is a source code distribution. There are currently no binaries available. See Installation below for compilation and installation instructions.
INSTALLATION
Gunner was built with the GNU autotools. If you are familiar with GNU software, then you should be comfortable installing gunner. In a nutshell, built it like this:
./configure --prefix=/some/directory
make
make install
edit ~/.gunnerrc
Enhancements:
- Added bounds checking and code stabilization.
- Added support for color terminals.
- Remade the gunnerrc file.

Newsx is an NNTP client for Unix. It connects to remote NNTP servers and receives incoming and outgoing articles
Newsx is also well suited for large spools with normal feeds, being used for pulling newsgroups from specific NNTP servers that are not distributed in the usual manner. Since newsx obeys the normal news spool configuration file and requires little or no specific configuration, the administrative burden should be minimized.
Main features:
- compatible with C News and INN local news servers
- configuration relies on standard C News and INN mechanisms for setting up newsservers and newsgroups
- setting of which newsgroups will be exchanged with which remote server based on sys or newsfeeds files, making administration easy
- logging of errors that occurred, as well as article transfer statistics
- optional log file for actual articles posted, and collection of posted articles in folders
- has been designed to be nice, so as not to overload the remote news server
- uses only standard RFC-977 functions, so should be compatible with the vast majority of news servers
- comprehensive error recovery for posting as well as for fetching; failed postings will be retried at the next opportunity, while fetching will resume at the point where it stopped
- refers to news history database to prevent fetching of articles already in the local spool. will not fetch crossposted articles more than once. does not rely on Xref, since many sites does not provide it.
- interface to popular news filters like Cleanfeed
Pulling news
News transfer via fetching to local news spools is sometimes claimed to be an inefficient way of transferring news compared to connecting newsreaders directly to the remote NNTP server.
The fact of the matter is that if set up and used correctly, exactly the opposite is the case.
A local news spool allows news transfer to occur at off-peak hours, thereby decreasing the host server load in the critical period. This will tie up less modems at peak hours, as well as decreasing the connect time since the actual transfer will run much quicker.
A fetch based system is also easier to administrate then the feeding kind, since every site decides for itself what groups it will exchange with whom. The major down-side is that article propagation times will be longer. For sites that are leafs in the news distribution tree, this is usually not very important.
Much of the problems connected with news pulling is connected to the use of the RFC-977 NEWNEWS command. Most news servers has implemented this command in an inefficient manner, which will put severe loads on the newsserver. Newsx does not use NEWNEWS.

Newsd is a standalone local NNTP news server for private newsgroup serving on a single server.
It is useful for serving private newsgroup(s) to an intranet or the Internet and can act as a simple mail gateway, however it does not interface with other news servers and cannot manage distributed news feeds, i.e. Usenet news.
Newsd is available under the terms of the GNU General Public License. The Newsd source code should compile on any POSIX-compliant operating system. Binaries are provided for Linux and MacOS X.
Enhancements:
- Important fix to multiline headers being split during header reordering
- STR#15: Path: now maintained and passed through mail gateway
- STR#16: Mailgateway: "From" field now renamed to "X-Original-From:"
