I'm looking for a Usenet newsgroup reader/client for Windows that saves everything to its own directory.
I'm aiming at a dedicated newsreader only. No "mixed" programs like Outlook, Thunderbird or the like which usually don't have as many features that specialized newsreaders do.
Forté Agent might do what you want. When I used it, a previous version, it didn't use the registry at all, but saved everything into its data directory.
Finally, an usenet professional ;) Agent is actually what I'm using at the moment (been using it since ver 1.0 !),but I've never managed to work portably. He would always complain about either missing reg. entries, or data files (version 5.0 doesn't save data files in its own directory, but in the docs. and settings one ...)
