[news.software.nntp] nntp 1.5.5 available for anonymous ftp

lamy@ai.toronto.edu (Jean-Francois Lamy) (06/09/89)

A vanilla NNTP 1.5 with patch sets 1-5 applied can be found on
neat.ai.toronto.edu (128.100.1.65), pub/nntp.1.5.5.tar.Z. Remember
to use binary mode.

(a gripe while I'm at it: distributing a shar file with one patch
file per directory to patch makes the process slow and error-prone.
I would rather have a shar file with whatever files are new and a single
patch file with all the diffs that I could apply by going to my nntp directory
and saying "patch -p < patchfile".)

Patches for C news support for 1.5.5 will be in the official release.  I
will make them available and try to keep in step with NNTP releases as
soon as C news hits the street.  Take that as a commercial for C news from
a site with 706 newsgroups :-)
