I friend of mine wants to get netnews up and running
on an IBM-AT running Xenix. Is this possible?
If so, where can I get the netnews software?
Please respond by email.
Thanks in advance for any info.

I have been trying to get news to compile on an Intel 310 running Xenix 286 3.0, without success. Any clues? D. Glenn Arthur Jr. ..!seismo!dolqci!hqhomes!glenn

I have implemented the 2.10.3 B version of the usenet software on an IBM XT. If it can be done on an XT it can be done on anything. There were a lot of minor changes to be made to get it to work. I do not have the machine this was done on nor do I have direct access to the source right now since the machine in mind is down with a failed hard disk. Anyone wanting the changed files from the standard release can send me mail and I will put the stuff together once ahxenix is back up and get it to you somehow... In the meantime you can ask questions of me or Bob Leffler who owns ahxenix, temporarily at ...!ihnp4!mb2c!fmsrl7!cideq3!bob. -- James R. Van Artsdalen ...!ut-ngp!utastro!osi3b2!james Live Free or Die
