Hopefully y'all will forgive this off-topic question. I'm looking for a
Newsreader for my laptop (free or shareware) which will maintain
synchronization with the .newsrc file stored on my ISP's server.

NewsWatcher, a Macintosh newsreader uses ftp to transfer the
local newsrc file before and after each session, so that no matter
where I read Usenet, the database was consistent. Now that I'm
primarily using a PC, I've been unable to find such a tool && have been
using tin via Telnet to the ISP.
There must be a Newsreader for the PC which stays synchronized.
Hope someone has such knowlegde.
Reply by post &/or email at your preference.
Again, sorry for the off-topic post, but I've tried the 'proper' groups 
to no avail, && this group is clearly attended by those with the
expertise about tools for PCs.

Thanks,
