NEWS items are divided inot NEWSGROUPS. All items with a similar subject matter are normally contained in a single newsgroup, and the same item may appear in a number of newsgroups....You can also reply to an iterm by posting a follow-up news item ... via VMS MAIL. NEWS also has facilities to support a DECNET connected set of news sites... ---- It looks to me like it doesn't have a connection to USENET type news feeds but that once you got the text files you could get them into the system. I would try contacting Geoff. ----- Clyde T. Poole, Technical Coordinator, Facilities and Equipment (in real life) DECUS U. S.
