Ever wish you had more GUI programs on Plan 9 to show off to your
friends? Do you think Mothra represents the very pinnacle of UI
design? Then have I got a program for you...

I've spent the last day or so whipping up a quick libpanel application
to read USENET via nntpfs. You can read newsgroups (not threaded, yet)
and post messages (no followups yet), all from the comfort of a
program that wouldn't look too out of place in any fashionable UNIX
establishment. Screenshots at
