Have you been wanting to upgrade your Netnews and/or Rn software to the
current version and/or patch level, but didn't want the headaches of
configuration and testing?  If you have a Motorola VME Delta system
running System V/68 Release 3.0, you're in luck!

I have configured Netnews 2.11, patchlevel 19 and Rn 4.3, patchlevel 44 so
that the binaries can be used on any system without further configuration.
Installation is simple and straightforward.  The binaries are available for
Motorola Delta Series running System V/68 Release 3.0.  They have been in
use for almost two months on one of my machines and have been in use for
over one month on four different systems.  A couple of minor bugs were
found and fixed during that time.  There are no known bugs in the current
version.  All testing has been done under version 5.1 of SVR3.

The binary distribution includes everything you need to get started,
except a news feed.  One hard copy of the documentation per "customer"
will be sent.  The software is available via UUCP (if you already have
a link with mcdchg) or on cartridge tape.  For tape distribution, send
your tape along with a business card or note giving your name, address,
phone, email, and fax information.  Also include the fact that the tape
is for the Netnews Binary Distribution.  Also mention if you need the older
60Meg tape density.  Tapes will be written with "cpio -ocB" and will be
at the highest density that the supplied tape will accept on the Delta.
Either Archive-style cartridge or Exabyte cartridge can be handled.

Please send Email first, so I have a chance to refer you to someone in
your neighborhood who has already received a copy of the distribution.

There is no restriction on reproduction as long as the author's copyright
notice is left intact.  Feel free to pass copies along to both Motorola
and non-Motorola sites using 68K Delta systems.
