Just wanted to thank you for the suggestion to try Wine under Linux. NewsmanPro actually works well (Debian Etch linux flavour). One thing that somehow doesn't work as it should is the use of 'browse' buttons and 'new directory' in defining where to store stuff in folders. But then editing the line with the proper setting does work, so probably some small incompatibility via Wine. Anyway, it works and works fast as well!
M.S.
Thank you by the way. I was using agent before and was so impressed with this product. When I saw a friend of mine using it, I could not believe how much better and that he must have tricked it out. Out of the box, it was easy and I did have a small learning curve but I am so impressed with the capability. I will be recommending it to everyone who asks.
W.M.
Congratulations to the developers for building a great software program!

I have experience with at least four other newsreaders (off the top of my head - OE, Thunderbird, Gravity, and Dialog) over the past fifteen years of newsgroup browsing and none of them offer the power of NMP's automation rules.
P.R.
I've been an Agent user for years. Every year or so I try out a few other newsreaders in the hopes that one of them will work as well and address some of the shortcomings. Usually one package will do one thing well, but be a step back in another area... so I've always stuck with Agent. Finallly... NMP does everything... and I mean everything! You've intelligently implemented every single feature I ever thought would be helpful, plus a bunch I never conceieved of. It's probably a bit overwhelming for a first time usenet user... but if you know what your doing, and what you want to do - it's fantastic. You take a bit of a speed hit on the initial dbase population steps, but you've really minimized that impact with the very clean threading model and task scheduling (in the [registered] version). Thanks.
G.H.
Usually when I send off an error report from software packages I wonder if anyone ever looks at them. Your response just sold me on buying your software. Thank you for the great support.
D.S.
We used several 'news' programs prior to NMP and have found NMP the best by far. Keep it up!!

I purchased Newsman Pro after extensive testing of: Newsman, Agent, Newsrover and Xnews. Newsman has all of the features I want and is customizable to my particular tastes. This is an awesome product.
C.K.
...the devs are constantly working and supporting their users by being extremely receptive and responsive to new user-requested features and functions.

This [MySQL and Newsman Pro] is the most synergistic merger of programs I've ever come across. The more you use it, the more obvious it is that this is a great idea.
S.B.
Just wanted to drop you a line letting you know why I purchased your product today. I found your free version on the web a few months ago and started to use it. Just in the last couple of days I realized it really worked well, so I bought it today. Its really good to be able to use something for a while then if you feel you need the other features you can purchase them.
B.C.
I just finished a test. I downloaded some binaries using Xnews and had a number of files that were coded as
"errors" when I tried to extract them. I then used your product on the exact same files. All binaries were error free and I was able to put them back together successfully with Winrar. Again thanks...
S.S.
As a programmer myself I'd like to compliment you on the polished look and feel of your program and express my appreciation for the amount of work and attention to detail that has obviously gone into its creation. It goes without saying that I'm a satisfied customer.
A.B.
This is great software. I think the support for it is unreal. Thanks a million.
J.T.
This product is fantastic!!
E.P.
Registering is one of the best things I ever did...It really is nice to have someone who listens to the users and implements requests no matter how difficult or trivial they may seem. Someone who doesn't just say 'this is what I want to do - take it or leave it'. Thanks again, and keep up the excellent work.
D.K.
The program is an extraordinary program, and it is working beautifully as I expected...this is the best program that I came across, while looking for an alternative to NewsLeecher.
G.E.
The product is definitely the best designed newsreader I have ever used.
R.W.
NewsMan Pro is by far the best newsreader I have ever used. Keep up the good work!
M.W.
I love it! Thanks for such a good app.
I.G.
After trying most of the other news readers out there, NewsMan is the best by a huge margin. NewsMan allows you to read text news easily, something most of the downloaders don't do, and it downloads binaries with so little fuss it's just superb.
M.L.
It is the best program I have tried yet. I have paid for NewsBin and Newsrover and I am not happy with them :-( NewsMan gives me all I need.
F.B.
Let me congratulate you on a great newsreader program. After several years of using BNR2/3, I went searching for something with better/more reliable handling of large (2M+) amounts of headers.
D.M.
Excellent, it works as promised. I want to thank you for your support, and NewsMan Pro makes a very good first impression.
W.V.
It's an excellent program... It's nice to see multi-threaded software written to take advantage of extra CPU power if the user has it. Forte has a thing or two to learn from you. Especially the design of using fast and powerful relational databases.
R.K.
I have tried a zillion (binary-useable) newsreaders including newspro (for a month), newsleecher, newsbin(licensed), Agent1.93(licensed), BNR2, etc, etc... and I am finding this very easy to use, and powerful..
K.M.
I would like to take this opportunity to say that I have really enjoyed the program. It was worth every penny.
J.K.
It's still the best news reader I've used...and it's binary handling is second to none.
M.L.
Still loving this program! Wish I had found it sooner!
J.D.
Let me take the opportunity to say that although I've only been using Newsman for a few days I think it is the best news reader around. I've tried most readers but all of them lack one thing or another.
C.L.
Everything I loved about Zeonews has now been incorporated into NewsMan Pro. I cannot recommend this software enough now! There is no other news reader program on the market that can touch this for features and ease of use.
J.S.
I'm a dissatisfied Agent user who gave up on waiting for a meaningful upgrade after over 5 years of using the product. Your product's features and excellent support, (I didn't expect an answer on a Sunday afternoon) is a breath of fresh air.
M.M.
Thanks for the great program...this is the best news reader I have ever used or even heard of. Keep up the good work.
R.A.
Very nice program by the way :) Glad I've finally found a replacement for NewsPro.
B.
if you have access to multiple news servers, NewsMan Pro is worth a serious look. (4/5 CPU's)

Thanks for all the continued work you do, the consistent updates to your software and the support you provide your customers.
S.J.
I just have to say... Holy Crap - What a great program! The deeper I dig, the better I like.
W.S.
...it's a work of art. Fast, clean, and obviously extremely well-planned.
