Formerly known as MicroPlanet Gravity, the new freeware "Super Gravity" newsreader from developer Albert Choy (who once worked for MicroPlanet) offers the ultimate in user configurability — every conceivable option from screen layout (13 assorted four-pane and five different three-pane views) to article layout (thirty-two message attributes can be mixed and matched for ultimate customization) has been developed with the end user in mind. The newsreader keeps users of all levels happy by offering more than just an extensive list of user-customizable options; Gravity sports an impressive array of news-related features as well. http://cws.internet.com/file/11436.htm -- I research freeware http://bearbottoms1.com

It is a rather pathetic attempt at trying to copy a proper newsreader. The original poster would be much better off using Free Agent if he wants offline newsreading. Not waste his time with XNews. With Free Agent he can effortlessly save his last 1,000,000 posts if he wants to. Even if all of those posts ceased being on the server five minutes after downloading. Regards, John.
