Xnews is a freeware Usenet newsreader created by Luu Tran. It is written in Delphi, and it is 100% GNKSA 2.0 compliant. Some of its features were inspired by the program NewsXpress.
Tran says that he designs the Xnews interface and features for himself only, reflecting his "preferences, habits, and sensibility." While this might seem like a self-centered point of view in its design, many Usenet users have found their points of view align with those of Tran.
Questions and discussion about Xnews have been plentiful in the Usenet group news.software.readers for quite some time.
