Subj:	NEWSRDR update

Matt Madison has released NEWSRDR v4.1-3 and I've updated the
FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET and ftp.spc.edu distributions.

NEWSRDR is an NNTP client for reading Usenet NEWS under VMS.  It works
with MultiNet, UCX, CMU, and TCPware TCP/IP implementations.  NEWSRDR
runs under both OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS AXP.

To get the latest version via e-mail, send the following commands in
the body of a mail message to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET:

SEND NEWSRDR                    !The binaries and docs
SEND NEWSRDR_SRC                !If you want the sources (written in C)
SEND FILESERV_TOOLS             !If you don't have UNZIP and MFTU

To get them via anonymous ftp from ftp.spc.edu, you'll find them in
the [.MADISON.NEWSRDR] directory.  A copy of UNZIP.EXE can be found in
[.MACRO32].

The changes since the last version available from FILESERV are
included below.

NEWSRDR V4.1-3, 01-MAR-1993

FIXES AND UPDATES
-----------------

NEWSRDR V4.1-3, 01-MAR-1993

* Added support for username->full address conversion in the
  name_conversion interface (to keep up with MX).

NEWSRDR V4.1-2, 24-FEB-1993

* In DIRECTORY output, when the actual text of the From or Subject
  field was smaller than the field width, garbage would sometimes
  result.

NEWSRDR V4.1-1, 17-FEB-1993

* Forgot to update the LIB$STOPs in the SERVER_xxx modules to use the
  new message formats.

NEWSRDR V4.1, 15-FEB-1993

* Added /SUBJECT and /CROSS_REFERENCES qualifiers to SET SEEN/UNSEEN.

NEWSRDR V4.0-15, 15-FEB-1993

* Retro-fit all $FAO references to work correctly with VMS V5.0 and V5.1.

NEWSRDR V4.0-14, 10-FEB-1993

* Fix output routines so they work correctly in non-interactive
  environments (like batch jobs).

NEWSRDR V4.0-13, 23-DEC-1992

* The return-code check from Post_Article was faulty, so that posting errors
  returned from the NNTP server were not being treated as errors.

NEWSRDR V4.0-12, 07-DEC-1992

* Move exit handler declaration to after the newsgroup update occurs, to
  prevent NEWSRC files from getting hosed when you can't connect to the
  server.

* Changed documentation to note that VMS V5.2 or later is required.
  This is because NEWSRDR now uses the !AZ format code with the $FAO
  system service, which evidently was new to V5.2.  It may not work
  perfectly with V5.2, either, because of some bugs in $FAO that weren't
  fixed until V5.4 or thereabouts.
