[news.sysadmin] How is News Software obtained?

steveb@ihlpa.UUCP (S. R. Bodenstab) (01/20/87)

My brother has finally received and assembled all the components of his new
system and has UNIX(tm) and uucp up and running on it.  He is running a small
software development firm and he would very much like to obtain the latest
and/or current NEWS(netnews?) software and establish his machine as a node on
the net.  Unfortunately, his only route of inquiry is through me, and I am not
particularly sophistocated in these matters.  I (and of course, he) would
greatly appreciate any pointers or information the net can provide that would
aid him in his quest.  Please respond by e-mail as I do not normally subscribe
to these newsgroups.  Thank you.
