You are probably already aware how powerful and elegant, the BeOS operating system is. However compared to Windows there isn't that much software freely available. I started by trying to port Tin to BeOS, because I wanted a newsreader. After doing this however, I decided to write one from scratch... BNews. Both my Tin port + source, and a the first release of BNews are available for download here, Also as my Genius Easypen didn't work under BeOS I wrote an input server add-on for it, which is available to download along with the source code.

   BNews BeOS Native Usenet newsreader.   BNews version 1.0b.

   An input server add-on to allow the Genius Easypen to be used under BeOS.   EasyPen Ver 1.0.

   Completed projects.   Download page.
