About

This project is a web-client for newsgroups (Usenet or NNTP). It support NNTP defined in RFC 977 and RFC 2980.

html4nntp respects the standards as CSS and XHTML to have an interface easier to adapt to the needs for each one. Other functionalities were added to provide a more convivial interface to the users.

html4nntp needs only PHP 4 and an access to a NNTP server.
