[news.software.nntp] NNTP 1.5.8 available

news@nixpbe.UUCP (Martin Boening) (03/16/90)

Just to repeat a question always asked when some software is announced 
available via anon. ftp:

How can I get this software (nntp 1.5.8 in this case) if I don't have
access to the Internet, i.e. if all I can do is send and receive UUCP 
mail? Is there such a thing as a mail server for the nntp stuff?

Thanks for informatove answers.

Martin

There is a mail server for the patches. You need to get the base software 
somehow and then you can get the patch kits from archive-server@bcm.tmc.edu.
