The slrn website holds a binary of slrn with exhaustive instructions
in the archive in a README file:

https://slrn.info/windows/README.1st
https://slrn.info/windows/slrn-1.0.3-win32-ads.zip

There is also an overly complex guide online that tells how to compile
your own copy:

https://www.andrews-corner.org/slrn-windows.html

I am running slrn under Windows 10 and it runs very, very nicely...

I started, then saw *_ELEVEN_* easy steps.
However undeterred, I read those 'easy' steps and started....but then I
realsised: 'Life's too short at my age'.
I will go on using Dialog, now that Bernt has fixed it.
I would, as you may have guessed, rather use Gravity, but as my original
post said I cannot get the 'Ignore thread' and 'Add to Bozo bin' to
'stick'. I can see them in the Ignore List, but they keep coming back. So
like I said I will live with Dialog for now.

Fair enough. Mind you I am 60 now and I created and maintain that
page, but I know what you mean: when you are older you choose how you
will spend your time.

The page states 3 steps but I confess some of those steps are biiiiig
steps :).

All the best with this, I tried Dialog a while back after being
challenged to do so by one of the NSR regulars, it might have been in
the time of Blinky the Shark. It was at the very least a very
competent newsreader but it was not slrn :)

I can give you 20 years so you see what I mean.
I only looked at slrn as you mentioned it and it's probably the only one
I've missed.
BTW I believe he is Bernd, but I'm inconsonant :)
