[comp.os.vms] are there any netnews readers for VMS?

edward@csvaxa.UUCP (Edward Wilkinson) (06/02/88)

Is  there any Usenet software for  VMS?  (mainly reader/poster). We're
running CMU tcp/ip so something that talks tcp/ip would be preferable.

A VMS reader/poster using NNTP protocols is available and described in
the article on Usenet Software, just posted to news.announce.newusers.
If anyone knows of other VMS software not mentioned there, please
let me know so I can update the article.

There sure is , we use GEOFF HUSTON's NEWS (V5.2) package and it
is very very good.It complies with all USENET standards and
implements NNTP (network news transfer protocol) with support for TCP/IP!
