(1) PROGRAM NAME: slrn

(2) LINK: http://slrn.sourceforge.net/

(3) DESCRIPTION: From the web site: "slrn ('S-Lang read news') is a
newsreader, i.e. a program that accesses a newsserver to read messages from
the Internet News service (also known as 'Usenet'). It runs in console mode
on various Unix-like systems (including Linux), 32-bit Windows, OS/2, BeOS
and VMS. Beside the usual features of a newsreader slrn supports scoring
rules to highlight, sort or kill articles based on information from their
header. It is highly customizable, allows free key-bindings and can easily
be extended using the sophisticated S-Lang macro language. Offline reading
is possible by using either slrnpull (shipped with slrn) or a local
newsserver (like leafnode or INN)."

I have used several newsreaders over the last 10+ years on Solaris, Linux,
and Windows operating systems and slrn and Xnews are the two newsreaders
that I still prefer. The nice thing about slrn is ist can be used in
console mode which comes in handy over a ssh (secure shell) connection.

(1) PROGRAM NAME: Servant Salamander

(2) LINK: http://www.altap.cz/download.html#salrel

(3) DESCRIPTION: From web site: "Servant Salamander 1.52 is the last
freeware version of our file manager (you can use it free of charge). This
program was not updated since 1998. We recommend to use current version of
Altap Salamander on newer operating systems (Windows XP and Vista)."

This is still my favorite two-paned file manager. It's quick, portable, and
I have used it on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 without difficulties. I
have tried many other file managers and the only other one I prefer is
Midnight Commander (typically found in Linux/UNIX systems even though I
have seen Windows binaries).
