I'm running the 30-day trial of newsreader Agent 8. It keeps warning me that the trial is almost up. I keep trying to buy it and their order page keeps crashing. I leave voicemails and nobody responds.

Now runs on a Raspberry Pi 4B 8 GB, use it to write this. Only drawback is the libforms GUI library it uses, was degraded by the maintainer, so I use an old version that has some cut and paste problems on the raspi, for the rest OK. As long as te standards stay the same it will keep running. Have posting going back to raspberrypi: ~/.NewsFleX/nntp.aioe.org # l total 5820 drwxr-xr-x 34 root root 4096 Jun 14 2006 Jun-2006/ drwxr-xr-x 34 root root 4096 Jul 21 2006 Aug-2006/ drwxr-xr-x 34 root root 4096 Sep 30 2006 Sep-2006/ drwxr-xr-x 34 root root 4096 Oct 23 2006 Oct-2006/ ..... Older postings upstairs perhaps in the old 486 PC..? x86 code here: https://panteltje.nl/panteltje/newsflex/index.html Did not make a release for Raspberry yet, if anybody cares I can make one with the old libforms I renamed it libzorms so as not to conflict with any recent libforms version. No idea of the new libforms is OK, I had an email exchange with the maintainer about middle mouse and right mouse functionality he removed. BUY a newsreader?? What world do you live in??? There must be several open source ones.

My 30-day trial of Agent 8 is theoretically expired today. What a hassle! I'd be happy to run my old v3.1, which I have the reg codes for, but it doesn't seem to work in Windows11.
