    Hmmm...another 'fox' project. On an aside, I recently became
    familiar with this project because a certain GUI for my Ten-Tec
    shortwave radio was written under it. It seems to use the
    'xclass' toolkit which was removed from the ports tree for lack of
    love I guess. I had to build it from scratch. Maybe this is a
    different 'fox' project, or maybe they switched toolkits because I
    didn't see any reference to 'xclass' on their site. I thought the
    Fox project was dead becaue the link on the xclass site seemed
    dead.

    I've always used 'filerunner'. Again, it's one of those things
    that I started out with and had no reason to change. I choose it
    initially because of it's FTP ability which is no longer very
    important to me. It's not at all a Windows Explorer
    look/work-alike, and after a short time I found it quite a lot
    more usable and powerful than Explorer.

    It's a tcl/tk thingy. Is it 'lightweight'? I dunno. Here's

    I use 'sylpheed-claws' for usenet. (Always go back to 'pine' for
    mail, and do it remotely anyway.) I never could get happy with a
    terminal-mode newsreader for some reason. Nothing threaded to my
    satisfaction. Sylpheed was the only graphical client I found
    which I could make allow me to use an external editor (vim.)
    Pretty good software also, but the older version I was using was a
    wee bit unstable.
