ANU NEWS is news reading software for VAX machines and it has been discussed in this forum a few months ago. Since more people are installing news reader programmes at their computer centers I thought it might be of some interest to tell the bio-computing community that there is a news reader available for IBM called NETNEWS. There is also a discussion group called NETNWS-L@NDSUVM1 devoted to discussions about this software. Check it out. ------------------------original------------------------------------- From: Anthony Ho <ASH@UWAV1.ACS.WASHINGTON.EDU> Date: Tue, 15 Aug 89 21:25 PDT Reply-To: NETNWS-L Netnews List <NETNWS-L@NDSUVM1> We have decided to use usenet news reader for our local BB. However, we like to put one up for the IBM. Where can I get the source of netnews? -ash ======================================================================= Anthony Ho University of Washington Seattle WA 98105 Bitnet: ASH@UWAV1 -------------------reply---------------------------------------------- From: Linda Littleton <LRL@PSUVM.BITNET> Date: Wednesday, 16 Aug 1989 09:40:01 EDT References: <NETNWS-L.89081523364126@NDSUVM1> Organization: Penn State University - Center for Academic Computing Lines: 4 There are two versions of Netnews for VM, one from PSUVM and one from PUCC.
