By any chance, was that the 'Trumpet' newsreader?

No, Trumpet was an Aussie product if I recall. It was very much a "GUI" program too, if only in the MS-DOS style. Mine was a BBS door meant to be used in TTY fashion. Largely a clone of the *IX newsreader 'nn', actually. I was trying to make the Waffle BBS usenet news transport system accessible to Fidonet systems like Opus-CBCS and QBBS. It never quite reached 'official' release stage though. It was working fine but needed lots of "polish" in the user-interface department. My UUCP feed died due to the continuing upheaval at the local university as they tried to modernize their systems. I managed to get a PPP connecton to keep up with my own news reading but never got a regular UUCP flow again & never finished it.
