The underlying philosophy of nn is "no news is good news" and "nn"
actually stands for "no news"!  This is because hundreds of thousands
of messages arrive in the over ten thousand newsgroups each day and
nn makes it easy to efficiently read only articles and newsgroups
you're interested in.

If you are concerned that nn might be too brutal about killing
articles, don't fear.  You can always view all articles, including
killed articles, using the "Go to all" (`G a') command described in
section 6.1 below.  You can also change nn's default kill behavior by
using some of nn's nearly 200 variables.

As of May 1995 the latest released version of nn is 6.4.18.  The
latest beta version is 6.5.0.b3.  The beta is very stable so you
might want to upgrade.  For information about getting and installing
nn see the nn FAQ -- details about finding the FAQ are given in
section 1.3.

Historical Note:  nn is based on the tass newsreader.
