NNTP run right on NCR with WIN/TCP, drop Stan Barber (c/o nntp@tmc.edu)

|The currently release of NNTP (1.5.11) is known to have problems running as
|a server on computers running versions of Unix that look more like System V
|than BSD. NNTP 1.6 will be verified to run on all the systems I can get
|my hands on. This includes the following:
|
|{several systems omitted - Doug}
| System V release 2 with Excelan networking on NCR Tower
|{but not WIN/TCP )-: - Doug}
|
|That's it. If you want me to verify that it works elsewhere before the release,
|I have to have access to a system with the configuration you need. I will be
|happy to do that on systems around the internet.
|
|As announced earlier this week, I will be releasing a group of UNOFFICAL
|patches to NNTP 1.5.11 to add the compatibility needed to run under ISC 2.2.1
|with TCP 1.X (whatever the current release is now). This may help make NNTP
|run on other System V Release 3 systems. I don't know.
