This is a port of slrn to Windows 95 console mode.
This distribution contains:

README.w95      This file
slrn.exe        slrn executable
slrnpull.exe    slrnpull executable
sendsmtp.exe    SMTP mailer program
slrn.rc         Sample slrn configuration file
w95keys.txt     Windows 95 cursor and function key codes

To install the binaries, here are the steps needed;

1.  Copy the slrn.exe and sendsmtp.exe files to a directory in your path.

2.  Set the following environment variables:
       set NNTPSERVER=my.news.server
       set HOME=d:\home\sweet\home
       (Note: Forward slashes are also ok)

3.  Copy the file slrn.rc into the home-directory and edit it to your
    needs, it should be pretty well documented.

4.  To mail a reply or forward a message you need to set up a sendmail-
    command in slrn.rc:

       set sendmail_command "sendsmtp my.mail.server"

    where the first argument to the sendsmtp program is your SMTP server.

5.  The first time you start slrn, start it with the following parameters
    "slrn.exe -create", this will create a jnews.rc.  After that you can
    start it without parameters.

ABOUT VARIABLES:
    slrn knows the following ENVIRONMENT variables;
        TMP:  Directory for temporary files, this should be set when you
              installed OS/2 to something like x:\TMP.
        USER or LOGNAME: This should be the same as the first part in your
              email-address (until @)

              posting from you can set this to the preffered email-address.

        EDITOR or VISUAL: Editor used if not defined in slrn.rc. (if none
              of these are defined we use edit.exe.

    Most of these can be overridden in the slrn.rc file.
