Alas, the O.G., year dot, Forte Agent is "museum ware", it has not
been under active development since 2014, and although the developer
website is fully functional, you cannot succesfully purchase a copy,
and the developers are non-responsive, unfortunately - I imagine the
website is kept going out of pride and respect for a solid newsreader
with a long history.

Refer to alt.binaries.warez, should you need such a windows newsreader
with adequate kill filtering sub-systems, to eke out a dignified and
functional life on comp.os.vms, these days.
