1. What is ANU News?
ANU NEWS is a computer-based conferencing system for VAX/VMS systems. ANU NEWS
can be connected into the Global USENET news network and/or any other news
network. ANU NEWS supports both DECnet and TCP/IP (Multinet, WIN/TCP, Ultrix
Connection, EXCELAN TCP, and CMU) as transports.
2. Purpose of News.software.anu-news
The purpose of news.software.anu-news is to discuss any and all ANU NEWS
related issues. It is the primary support channel for ANU NEWS users.
New versions, fixes, workarounds, etc are posted to the newsgroup. Bug
reports/fixes and suggestions for improvement are always welcome. Please
always RTFM (Read The Friendly Manual) before posting.
3. How to subscribe
On USENET, news.software.anu-news is a regularly available newsgroup. In
general, it is preferable to read the newsgroup instead of the mailing list.
To subscribe to this list BITNET/EARN/NetNorth Users may be able to send an
interactive message to LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 (via SEND or TELL). For example:
SEND LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 SUB ANU-NEWS Jane Doe (your first/last name)
Internet/BITNET/EARN/NetNorth/UUCP users may send MAIL to
LISTSERV@VM1.NoDak.EDU or LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 with the first line of the TEXT or
BODY of mail being:
SUB ANU-NEWS firstname lastname (e.g. SUB ANU-NEWS John Doe ).
4. Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do I acquire a copy of ANU News?
A: ANU News is available for anonymous FTP on sao.aarnet.edu.au (Australia)
and kuhub.cc.ukans.edu (Kansas, USA). Other sites may also have it
available. Please use the site closest to you. There are two versions
available: a normal backup saveset and a LZW compressed version of the
backup savesets. VMS LZW programs are available via anonymous FTP [could
someone give me a site?] and through DECUS. For network load reasons, it
is preferable if you acquire LZW and then the compressed version of ANU
NEWS.
Q: I'm having problems printing the Postscript documentation on my printer.
A: The Postscript file is setup for A4 page size. In the US, a different
page size is commonly used. In this case, you will need to use the
Microsoft Word version of the document and print it via Word.
Q: NEWS is sending everything I get back to my feed system. What do I do?
A: Make sure that the system name in NEWS.SYS matches what your feed
system puts in the Path: header.
