I guess free agent has gone the way of all free gifts.
Could not find any such bird.

Forte doesn't offer the free version anymore, but there is
an archive site which has the last free version available for
download (7.7 MB self-installer). Of course, sinc this
download is not from the original company, you'd want
to virus-scan it before opening the installation file.
Using Forte's trial version for a month is probably
the way to go.

http://www.archive.org/details/ForteFreeAgent3.3
the page says:
"Forte free agent is a popular freeware news reader,
no longer available for download on the forte site.
version 3.3 is probably the latest free version."

Nothing seems to ever go away on the internet, things
just get hidden deeper in the net.

I downloaded it from that archive page, scanned with Kaspersky and avg
and it was clean. I set it up and clicked to use it as free agent. I
will explore it further and see what it can do.
