VNEWS (vms) Version 1.41 is now available. As always, V1.41 is believed to be free of bugs which cause crashing and/or burning. (For those of you who don't know, VNEWS is a NNTP-based news reader, for VAX/VMS systems. VNEWS supports TGV Multinet (V2 and V3), Wollongong WINS/TCP (V5.2 and before), Process Software's TCPware, CMU TEK TCP/IP, Digital's UCX and DECnet. It also supports VMS versions 4 and 5.) VNEWS 1.41 is available from finer ftp sites everywhere. To get VNEWS 1.41: ftp arizona.edu user anonymous cd [.software.vms.vnews] get readme.txt ! this file VNEWS is stored in subdirectories: Source code : [.141src] : ~ 800 blocks Documentation : [.docs] : ~ 100 blocks Extra utilities : [.utils] : ~ 10 blocks .OBJ files : [.obj] : ~ 400 blocks Relevant RFCs : [.rfc] : ~ 950 blocks Newuser info : [.newuser] : ~ 920 blocks Updates to convert 1.40 to 1.41 : [.141upd] : ~350 blocks Of these six, you only need the first two. The rest are optional and nice to have. You will need a FORTRAN compiler, and possibly a Macro compiler, and even a C compiler (if you run CMU). As always, bug reports should come to me; fixes for detected bugs are always appreciated. (preferred addresses: jms@carat.arizona.edu or jms@sovset.bitnet [same thing]) Best wishes, and good luck!
