Ken Ng has moved on to bigger and better things.  I don't know if he can
even be reached at the same e-mail address.

This may or may not be the answer to your wishes, but you can check out a
newsreader I've written to replace NX (also my favorite) for my own use.
It has similar looks and feels to NX and has score file and binaries
decoding.  Basically I implemented features I like, add some I want to see
in NX, and left out those I never or rarely use.  You can d/l the file here

There's a screen shot here

It's freeware, use at your own risk, etc etc.
