JLNNTP

Description

JLNNTP is an NNTP[1] library for Java. It was originally written as a course assignment. The library includes functionality required to implement a simple NNTP client. It is NOT a fully-featured NNTP implementation. The library also includes some support for handling USENET articles[2].

This package also includes a very spartan read-only newsreader user interface, RONR. It was written only to test the underlying functionality of the library.
