News Software for VMS
---------------------

ANU-News  - Not just a news reader, but a full-blown news system for VMS,
	    including both an NNTP client and server.  Available by anonymous
	    FTP from kuhub.cc.ukans.edu.  VMS style user interface.  For more
            information, see newsgroup news.software.anu-news, or the mailing 
            list ANU-NEWS at VM1.NoDak.EDU for more information. (Alpha and 
            VAX)  This is the only NNTP Server for VMS (other than Mark
            Berryman's way-cool Mumps-based NNTP Server).

NEWSRDR   - A news reader (NNTP client).  Supports threading using the
            References: header (or via Subject: header, whichever you
            prefer).  Requires access to a system running an NNTP server.
            Available by anonymous FTP from public.tgv.com in directory
            [.MADISON.NEWSRDR], and from ftp.spc.edu (file name
            [.MACRO32.SAVESETS]NEWSRDR.ZIP).  It is also available
            through e-mail distribution from FILESERV@WKUVX1 on BITNET
            and FILESERV@WKUVX1.WKU.EDU (send a one-line e-mail message
            with the text "HELP" in the message body for more
            information).  Contact Matt Madison (madison@tgv.com) for
            more information.  (Alpha and VAX)

	    NNTP client.  Available by anonymous FTP from decuac.dec.com,

	    somewhat different full-screen interface and quick response to
	    all newsgroups.  It can be found in the pub/fnews/vms directory
	    on grunt.marc.cri.nz.  Contact Chrisp@grace.cri.nz for more
	    information.  (VAX only (?))

            [ANONYMOUS.TIN] directory, and also on tango.cchs.su.edu.au in 
            [FTP.VMS.TIN].  (Alpha and VAX)

DNEWS     - "Dynamic" NNTP Server, currently in beta test.  Available on
            ftp.std.com in ftp/vendors/emagic/dnews.  (Alpha and VAX)

            thread lines, multiple windows, support for multiple news servers.
