C News

C News is a free, open-source Usenet newsreader software that enables users to access and read newsgroups—online discussion forums covering a wide range of topics. It allows individuals to subscribe to these groups, download messages, and participate in discussions. Designed for Unix-like operating systems, C News historically distinguished itself by its scalability and efficiency, especially in handling large volumes of messages. Though less common today due to the rise of web-based forums, C News played a significant role in early online communication and information sharing, providing a powerful tool for managing and accessing distributed message networks.
