Unison is now free, but unsupported:

http://www.panic.com/blog/the-future-of-unison/

But, truthfully, if you’re not willing to put in some effort to come back
and bring some people with you, you shouldn’t bother.  If you can take it
or leave it, like any other form of infrastructure, it will decay and
crumble to the point where most people will have no choice but to leave
it.

I tried to get slrn and tin and looked for others.  I keep a 10.6.8 usb 
key around for MTNW, but it's just too much trouble.

I already had it, but it won't build.  ./configure fails:

checking for the slang library and header files ... no
configure: error: unable to find the slang library and header file slang.h

...and I really can't be bothered.  I think I looked for it when I

You must not have read the INSTALL document, which states:

"slrn makes extensive use of version 2.X of the S-Lang programmer's
library.  You will need to have this library installed before you can
build slrn.  See <http://www.jedsoft.org/slang/> for links to the
library."

Installing slang is a simple: ./configure; make; sudo make install

Sounds like command-line tools really aren't your thing. And that's
fine.

I started with rn in 1991 or so, then nn.  I can do it.

I've got slrn running!  woot.

I'd sort of like to give slrn a try but it looks like it might require 
software skills that I aint got.  Looks like the pre-compiled binary 
might be the easiest but it says underneath that

"Note however when considering the use of these binaries that it is 
often better to compile your own "vanilla" copy of slrn from source code 
and certainly if you wish to apply patches you will need the original 
source code."

Plus the MacOS version is 0.9.9-1 where 
http://www.jedsoft.org/snapshots/ page shows slrn-pre1.0.3-1.tar.gz and 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/slrn/files/ shows slrn-1.0.1.tar.gz .

I'm just wondering whether someone with very limited, decades old 
programming experience could dl the source code, a compiler, other tools 
(version 2 of S-Lang and its "development" files?) and get a usable 
newsreader.

Thing is it looks pretty stable.  And supported.  And I don't think I'd 
have a problem with the command line.  (My very limited experience was 
partly with VMS in the 80s.)

The MacPorts version appears to be the 1.0.1 stable build:

https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/news/slrn/Portfile

> I'm just wondering whether someone with very limited, decades old

You probably could.  But even as someone who *is* all up-to-date with
development tools, I can tell you that it just isn’t worth the bother.
Even MacPorts I don’t find useful, because I don’t trust Apple not to
pull the rug out from under the software it installs.

The easiest thing to do for most non-Mac and “legacy” software is to
run it in a VM like VirtualBox so that it has the full environment it was
developed for.  That way, if I wanted a recent slrn or any of the other
command line newsreaders, it’s just an apt-get away for me.  There’s
even some chance I could run MT-NW if I tracked down a copy of Mac OS
X Server to put on a VM.  But Usenet is not the main reason I would
bother to do that.

> Thing is it looks pretty stable.  And supported.

Nothing about Usenet is properly supported any longer.  I used to like
slrn back in the day, but now that I’ve looked through the source code
it makes me ill to think about using it.  Any stability you see is an
artifact of it’s long history, not of design.

Why is that? It's a *very* simple compile. 

> Even MacPorts I don’t find useful, because I don’t trust Apple not to
> pull the rug out from under the software it installs.

That's a concern even with Mac GUi software though. The biggest issue I
have with MacPorts is the overhead. Most of the *nix software I need is
easily compiled stand-alone without a package manager like MacPorts.

That would be extreme overkill. You'd need more storage space, more
memory, and lots of CPU overhead to do that. Theres no need to run an
entire virtual machine with an entire guest operating system just to run
slrn, because slrn is developed for Mac OS X, which is why it compiles
quite nicely in Mac OS X. 

> That way, if I wanted a recent slrn or any of the other

One of the great things about OS X is it's ability to run most *nix
software *without* having to run Linux. You get the great user
experience of OS X combine with the command-line environment of Unix. No
need for Linux at all.

Now *that's* something I wouldn't consider to be worth the effort.

All that matters to me is slrn works very well in OS X.

If you install a modified application to replace one that Apple also 
supplies, and if you put your modified software in the places where 
Apple puts the original, it can happen. If you keep your stuff in 
/usr/local, and set your various paths to reflect your preferences, then 
it's not an issue. But it can happen.

I install all third-party stuff in /usr/local as a rule. Hasn't failed me
yet. : )

Right. No problem.

Ah, if you are a complete and total moron, you mean? No one with any
sense at all would do that.

It's pretty simple. Do this in an administrator account on your
computer:

Download slrn from: <http://sourceforge.net/projects/slrn/>
Download slang from: <http://www.jedsoft.org/releases/slang/>

1. Decompress both archives.

2. Open a terminal window.

3. Install slang:

a. Use the cd command to change the working directory to the slang
directory.

b. Enter this command to configure the package: ./configure

c. Enter this command to build the package: make

d. Enter this command to install the package (supplying your password when prompted): sudo make install

4. Install slrn:

a. Use the cd command to change the working directory to the slrn
directory.

b. Enter this command to configure the package: ./configure

c. Enter this command to build the package: make

d. Enter this command to install the package (supplying your password
when prompted): sudo make install

5. Copy the slrn configuration file from slrn-1.0.1/doc/slrn.rc to your
home directory, edit it as you see fit, and rename it .slrnrc so that
slrn will see it when you start it up.

Feel free to post here (and news.software.readers) for help with
configuration if needed. A few folks here use slrn and can help you do
things like setting it up to use Mac text editors for posting, filtering
posts, and so on.

Does it matter whether I use slang-2.3.0.tar.bz2 or slang-2.3.0.tar.gz ?

Nope. Those are the same version. The contents are the same, just compressed
differently. The bz2 file is compressed with Bzip2. The gz file is
compressed with gzip. I typically choose the tar.gz file, because I can
decompress it with: tar xzf filename.tar.gz. Use whichever suits your
needs best.

Tar understands bzip2. You decompress it with 

tar xjf filename.tar.bz2
