usenet
usenet is an Internet service that supplies messages on a
vast, decentralized association of computer systems so people around the
world can share information. This information is in the form of articles
(news) sent to discussion groups (newsgroups), each with
its own topic and available via host computers that subscribe (newsfeeds)
to newsgroups. usenet is sometimes referred to as
netnews and is accessible through client software
(newsreaders) on a host, or your own computer. Newsreader software
allows you to read and respond to messages in a newsgroup and permits anyone
to read what you have written.
Available on ROHAN, rn (for
read news) is a UNIX-based newsreader.
