Currently we are using rrn with NNTP to talk to our news server, a Pyramid 9820. I am running SunOS 4.0.3 on a SUN 4/280, 4.0.1 on Sun 386i's. In order to post news the only way to do it is to go into 'rrn' and go to the group, followup to some article (or no article) and just replace all of the header information with the stuff we want. This is very messy and isn't exactly an easy thing to explain to users. Does anyone have a copy of 'postnews' which runs using NNTP, or do I have to assault the source and do it myself? Please respond with e-mail to ...uunet!telxon!gorpong and I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you in advance! -- Gordon. Gordon C.

If you have ``rrn'', you should also have ``Pnews'', which comes with it.
It will let you easily post news without having to enter ``rrn'' first.

My humblest apologies for the question. I got a response informing me to use the 'Pnews' command which will talk to the mini-inews. Sorry for the excess bandwidth. -- Gordon. Gordon C.
