My newsserver is fed one big batch of news every day when I get home
from the university with a disk or two full of news. C News is quite
capable of dealing with that. strn is configured to read the articles
directly from the spool. I'm the only reader here.
I think that such a newsserver is perferable to any other offline
newsreading solution.
