News Xpress - News Xpress is a Windows application for accessing articles on the UseNet. Of the various types of newsreaders, NX is online, threaded, and requires a winsock compliant interface for TCP/IP. However, NX can be operated as a one-pass offline reader and can list article headers completely unthreaded. NX uses NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol), a standard for the distribution, inquiry, retrieval, and posting of articles within the Internet community. NX also takes advantage of the NNTP extension, XOVER, for accessing the overview database at the newsserver. An additional function of News Xpress is the ability to send (and send only) e-mail via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), a standard for the distribution of e-mail traffic within the Internet community.
