A BETA version will be placed on "sao.aarnet.edu.au" (130.56.5.21) at the end of this week for collection via anonymous ftp, and also by PSI_COPY from the DTE (0505)26244003215. The NNTP client looks identical to NEWS itself, and will run over decnet, decnet stream (Ultrix / Decnet), and CMU, Multinet and WIN TCP implementations. Geoff Huston gih900@sao.aarnet.edu.au
