This is ANU NEWS V6.0-1 complete will all the known patches and
submissions to ease installation.  As far as I know, this is still
the only NetNews program (server and client) for VMS.  It provides
the basic NEWS interface with support for news feeds via batch (from
UUCP or MAIL), NNTP over CMU-TEK, Multinet, Wollongong, UCX, and
EXOS TCP/IP, as well as DECnet and arbitrary serial lines.  As
provided, the distribution comes with executables built for systems
running TGV's Multinet.

Once installed, your system, too, can be one of over 10,000 systems
participating in Usenet.  NEWS provides a very nice full-screen
(SMG) interface for local users and many clients exist for remote
access through the NNTP server.  The documentation, if you have a
Postscript printer, is very well done.  If you don't have a
Postscript printer, RTF files are provided which can be converted
into many popular word processing packages such as Microsoft Word.
Many of the other files in this submission discuss other aspects of
running ANU NEWS including performance, bug fixes, and helpful hints
for installing and running NEWS easily.
