  NN-TK retains the basic structure of screen mode NN where you first
  select the articles in a group you want to read and then page
  through them. All the old NN commands should still work.

  The TCL/TK code provides a GUI interface with command menus and
  buttons, the use of the mouse to select articles, a scrolling panel
  for displaying articles and group selection using either of
  scrolling panel or cascading menus. There is a panel that displays
  the Reference thread tree structure. If EXMH is available then there
  is also an internal editor for posting items and the ability to send
  and read MIME and PGP messages as well as to turn URL's into buttons
  for passing to NETSCAPE (or another WWW reader).

  The source is in: ftp://ftp.uwa.edu.au/pub/nn/		881k
  
  and can be compiled into either nn or nn-tk. The nn version has a
  few advantages over the usual nn: there's a command for reloading
  the newsgroup info while running and an option for not reading the
  active file on startup (useful for slow NNTP connections).  This
  version will compile under tcl7.6/tk4.2 (as well as 7.4/4.0).

  In nn-6.5.1, there is a simple text panel, with highlighting and
  mouse sensitivity within an xterm.
