[news.software.anu-news] How to switch from mail-newsfeed to NNTP newsfeed?

SONNEVELD@HLSDNL5.BITNET (R.E. Sonneveld, PTT Research, The Netherlands, +31 70 332 5362) (02/03/90)

Hello, all
     
We're running ANU-NEWS V5.9c on three VAX/VMS systems. Our newsfeed comes from
a VAX/Ultrix via DECnet mail. I'd like to set a number of newsgroups served on
the VAX/Ultrix and switch our newsfeed from mail to NNTP. What need to be done
to achieve this? The manual is not clear to me on this point.
     
        1.      Do I have to create the news_manager:NNTP_DECNET.DIR?
        2.      Do I have to change the entry in the NEWS.SYS file for the
                Ultrix-node? And for the local node?
        3.      What mechanism ensures the delivery of the headers of
                newsitems instead of the whole items?
     
'Anu' help greatly appreciated!
