[news.software.anu-news] Information about News

FUCHS@EMBL.BITNET (Rainer Fuchs (EMBL)) (09/22/89)

(I repost this message since I am afraid that our Bitnet connection was down
last time)
     
We are interested in installing some kind of conferencing/news system at our
site, but need some more information about the different programs available.
We currently have News v5.6 but what we miss is a topic/reply system for
easily following the course of a discussion (like in VAX notes).
So my questions is:
Do the newer versions (>5.6) have such feature? And generally, what
are the differences to v5.6 (only bug fixes or new features) ?
     
Thanks
