History
Tin was initially used on text-only computer terminals connected via a slow serial interface to a multi-user time sharing central server, where graphics were generally not supported and when the computer mouse did not yet exist. At the time, tin was considered to be somewhat of a high-resource{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} program in this environment (similar to Pine) due to its use of terminal cursor control and page-oriented text scrolling to make navigating Usenet easier. While it did not have graphics support it does provide a visually organized browser-oriented drill-down list of groups, subjects, and then articles, as opposed to simply scrolling endless pages and menus upward from the bottom of the screen.Tin is available for a variety of Unix-like operating systems. It is based on the TASS newsreader, whose source code had been posted in 1991 on Usenet by Rich Skrenta.NEWSGROUP, Tass 3.2 newsreader, Rick Skrenta, alt.sources, April 18, 1991,weblink The work on tin was begun shortly afterward by Iain Lea,NEWSGROUP, ANNOUNCEMENT: tin v1.00 - YAN (Yet Another Newsreader), Iain Lea, August 24, 1991, news.software.readers,weblink who provided information for the IETF RFC 2980.WEB, Common NNTP Extensions (draft 4)See also
