GUEST@DTUPEV5A.BITNET (BITNET anonymous guests) (01/16/90)
I'm new to this list, so bear with me...
Some questions:
1) Would it be possible to distribute news via Bitnet? Is ANU-News
all I need, if it is possible?
2) Thinking of transferring news from the VAX to a PC over a terminal
line, what do I need for the VAX (VMS 5.0)? UUCP for the PC
exists already.
3) If the above things work, where do I get ANU-NEWS and other
Software needed?
Please send email, if possible.
Thanx for your attention,
-Martin

Is ANU-News > all I need, if it is possible? Yes, I get my news feed over BITNET. Instead of having the news.batch files mailed to me, they are sent to me via SEND. The only thing is to make sure that you can handle lines greater than 132 characters as you get the ocational news item with long lines. To take care of this I have my files sent VMSDUMP format. (I have VAXen on both ends) After I get my files I process them in the same way you would process news files sent via mail -- =============================================================================== Gehri Grimaud gehri@cc.usu.edu Utah State University gehri@usu.bitnet Office of Computer Services tel.
