Hey, is this guy lucky or what....

This article is being posted from a DG MV/10000 machine running native 
DG/UX 3.11 that I *just* ported nntp/rrn 1.4 to DG/UX. In fact this is the 
first non-test of this software..... As you can see, the software for routing 
info (the field Reply to) is not exactly correct, but it's getting there. 
Please use my .signature for contacting me.

The software that I am running is the combination of:
	DG/UX 3.11 (native to this machine, but you should be able run
	it under MV/UX...

	TCP/IP 2.00

	NNTP 1.4 from ucbvax.berkeley.edu (if you aren't serving, you only 
	need the "common" and "inews" directories..)
	RRN from the same site, but in a seperate package.

	My hacks (err "changes").. most of which are pretty simple. 
	(DGUX is a hybrid combination of System V/BSD 4.2..) so you just have 
	to have the correct defines and include files.. otherwise not hard at 
	all.

	One major point is that you have to get "/usr/include/dbm.h" if you 
	don't have it. Data General  does document it, but they didn't give it 
	with my distribution.. (? DG are you listening ?)

	I have "ifdef DGUX"'ed all my hacks.. so all's well on  my software.
	Contact me for details.

	We have the master NNTP server on a Mt. Xinu 4.3BSD vax which has all
	of the B News and such. It does all the real stuff, and the DG just 
	reads
	and posts to it. Really simple and good software. (Couple of bugs that 
	I found out appear to be DG/UX's bugs really)

	So Far So Good.... I plan to try to run it on SUNs and Apollos too..
	So far no trouble..
		
		Contact me for details if you want.
