Strn was written by Clifford A. Adams <caadams@frontiernet.net>. It's
based on trn 3.4.1, but adds many new capabilities to trn, such as a
newsgroup browser, virtual newsgroups, scoring/rating of articles, and
easy configuration menus. Strn has been developed and tested over the
past year with the help of more than 50 alpha testers. The beta release
is intended to make the current version more widely available, test out
some of the new concepts (such as index-moderation using virtual
newsgroups), and gather suggestions for improvement.

Strn is still under development, although most of its planned features
are implemented. Future versions of strn will mainly improve the
documentation, scoring ease-of-use, and configurability of the program.
Version 1.0 release is expected in a finite amount of time.
